In contrast to the macroscopic world where a vacuum keeps two hemispheres together, in the nanoscopic world, a vacuum cannot exist within closed surfaces. A. Scarso, F. Fabris, and co‐workers demonstrate in their Communication on page 4972 ff. that a suitably tailored chiral molecule with pendant oxime moieties may dimerize to form a supramolecular cooperatively hydrogen‐bonded capsule containing atmospheric gases or methane.
