Structural characterization of high‐efficiency molecular organic solar cells using high resolution transmission electron microscopy is performed by G. C. Bazan, T.‐Q. Nguyen, and co‐workers. On page 5019, these characterizations reveal welldefined, wire‐like crystalline donor domains. Single crystal diffraction experiments of the donor material provide detailed information on the solid‐state molecular orientation and packing within the wires and thereby provide unprecedented molecularlevel insight applicable for designing the next generation of energy conversion materials.
