AgCl nanocrystals demonstrate spontaneous reshaping and splitting, as imaged via liquid cell transmission electron microscopy. In article number 1803231 , Haimei Zheng and co‐workers show that, under electron beam irradiation, all AgCl nanocrystals maintain a single crystalline structure while simultaneously exhibiting liquid‐like behaviors. The dynamics of the AgCl nanocrystals inspires better nanomotor designing.
