A programmed light‐responsive chiral liquid crystal is newly designed, precisely synthesized and efficiently applied as a remote‐controllable molecular knob, by K.‐U. Jeong and co‐workers on page 4242. Photo‐induced phase transformations in the mesomorphic helical superstructures enable the fabrication of optically tunable thin films which can be used as smart windows, multifunctional paints, and colorimetric sensors.
