Abstract 2D micelles have attracted considerable attention in materials science due to their high surface area, tunable properties, and diverse potential applications. Although various methods are well‐established for synthesizing inorganic materials, the development of organic remains less advanced challenges achieving controlled synthesis. Crystallization‐driven self‐assembly (CDSA) has emerged as a powerful adaptable approach constructing micellar structures with precise control over dimensions, morphology, corona chemistry. This technique is particularly significant creating functional architectures applications across tissue engineering, nanomedicine, sensing. Recent advances CDSA block copolymers enabled enhanced structural precision reproducibility, making it valuable tool designing next‐generation materials. review provides comprehensive overview current principles, application crystalline cores formed through CDSA, highlighting transformative impact this field soft matter nanotechnology.

Abstract Non‐iridescent photonic glass pigments of block copolymers show great potential for sustainable structural coloration. However, the ability to create accurate RGB color mixtures real‐world applications is limited by prevalent use non‐degradable, fossil oil‐derived components and difficulty in achieving pure red hues. This work presents an alternative strategy more coloration fabricating composite through controlled self‐assembly water, vegetable oil, biodegradable bottlebrush (BBCPs) a complex emulsion system. The obtained balls feature unprecedented multicompartment structures characterized short‐range ordered assembly water nanodroplets stabilized BBCPs, along with oil droplets these nanodroplets, which substantially enhances resistance Ostwald ripening. Furthermore, new model introduced eliminate disordered scattering, successfully creating overcoming long‐standing limitation versatile chromatic engineering.

Abstract DNA encapsulation is crucial for stable, long‐term digital data storage, addressing the global explosion. Current chemical and release methods are slow hazardous, hindering frequent access needed dynamic “warm data” storage. Supersoft elastic porous microspheres developed to overcome this challenge that facilitates rapid through seamless transitions between closed open‐pore states. This alternative strategy allows real‐time manipulation, cutting loading retrieval times from days just minutes. The significantly enhances stability by forming a protective polymeric barrier against environmental degradation, achieving lifetimes of up 577 years at 4 °C, far superior dehydrated without protection. interconnected nanopores, enriched with positive charges, facilitate an extraordinary storage capacity 18 EB g −1 . Moreover, adaptive prepared via controlled self‐assembly highly charged triblock bottlebrush copolymers, which straightforward scalable low‐cost
