A simulated grain boundary stitching two graphene domains tilted at a 28° angle exhibits a well‐defined sinuous shape, which is revealed to be energetically preferred. Such sinuous grain boundary, appeared to be a curved river on land, are highlighted by B. I. Yakobson and co‐workers on page 367 as a new channel to explore novel electronic behavior in graphene and to reach the as yet unexplored flatlands of two‐dimensional materials.
