Windmill‐shaped architectures and square rods were formed by the self‐assembly of a short helical β peptide in aqueous solution. In their Communication on page 8232 ff. , H.‐S. Lee and co‐workers show how the self‐assembly of these exceptional 3D shapes and their intermediate states could be guided and controlled by the addition of a surfactant.
