Fighting against windmills : Highly homogeneous, well‐defined, and finite “windmill”‐ and square‐rod‐shaped supramolecular architectures were formed by the self‐assembly of a short helical β peptide in aqueous solution (see picture). The reproducible formation of the unprecedented 3D shapes could be controlled by the use of a surfactant of different concentrations.
