The chiral stereoisomers of new non‐ionic dendritic amphiphiles self‐assemble in aqueous solution towards helical ribbons with opposite handedness. However, in the case of the meso‐compound, cylindrical assemblies are observed, as illustrated. Modelling suggests that they consist of right‐ or left‐h...
