Helical and twisted nanostructures with controllable chirality have recently attracted much attention. In their Communication on page 2411 ff., C. L. Feng and co‐workers show how the supramolecular chirality of nanofibrous structures can be inverted with achiral molecules through the formation of intermolecular hydrogen bonds. This study also provides a method to explore the functions of chiral nanostructures in environments where chiral and achiral molecules are in close proximity.
