Narrow, smooth‐edged graphene nanoribbons are needed for graphene electronics to replace the current silicon technology. In their Communication on page 8041 ff. , J. Wang, F. Ding, et al. report a smart strategy for cutting single‐walled carbon nanotubes (gray) into narrow graphene nanoribbons in H 2 gas (green) with a single transition‐metal atom (Cu, red) as the chemical scissors.
