The softness and anisotropy of organic semiconductors offer the opportunity to tune charge transport using lattice strain. On page 5531, D. Wang, Z. G. Shuai, and co‐workers elucidate through a multi‐scale theoretical approach, the relationship between lattice strain, molecular packing, and charge carrier mobility of TIPS‐pentacene, which enables an efficient and targeted control of charge transport.
