Abstract Chiral propeller architectures constructed from achiral molecules via hydrogen bonding self‐assembly, in addition to Frank–Pryce spherulitic droplet and fingerprint textures, are reported on p. 3229 by Cheng and co‐workers. It is found, for the first time, that neither molecular chirality nor a molecular bend is necessary to form a chiral phase, which is of particular interest for next‐generation biological and electro‐optical materials science and technology.
