Supramolecular organization of appropriate building blocks is a well‐established tool for creating tubular molecular structures. In their Communication on page 3030 f f., M. R. Hansen, S. Höger, and co‐workers describe how dissipative forces can be utilized in the self‐assembly of a molecular channel‐forming system based on shape‐persistent macrocycles that have an inner diameter greater than one nanometer in the liquid‐crystalline phase.
