The helical morphology shown in the cover picture, emerges from triclinic crystals through diffusion‐limited growth. The backbone of the helical architecture comprises twisted twins of the tilted subunit crystal originating from the triclinic system. The results provide a fundamental basis for the formation of various helical morphologies that have already been reported. For more information see the Communication by H. Imai and Y. Oaki on page 1363 ff.
