Synthetic water channels offer great promise to replace natural aquaporins (AQPs) for making new‐generation biomimetic membranes for water treatment. However, the water permeability of the current synthetic water channels is still far below that of AQPs. Here, peptide‐attached (pR)‐pillar[5]arene (p...
