In article number 2001473, Zhifeng Huang and co‐workers introduce an emerging concept of metal chiral nanoparticles (CNPs), composed of chiral lattices at the atomic scale without containing chiral ligands. Metal CNPs are mainly generated by macroscopic shear forces applied with glancing angle deposition, and have unique asymmetric properties promisingly leading to prominent applications in the fields of enantiodifferentiation, asymmetric catalysis, enantioseperation, bio‐imaging and bio‐sensing.
