Crystallographic understanding of surface chirality in metal nanocrystals provides synthetic strategies to achieve 3D chiral geometry. In article number 1905758, Ki Tae Nam and co‐workers summarize the fundamentals to define surface chirality and the strategies to control chiral high‐Miller‐index facets of metal nanocrystals. A guideline to link the surface and geometry and to synthesize chiral metal nanocrystals for optical, biomedical, and catalytic applications is provided.
