The inside cover shows an atomic force microscopy false color image of a silver nanowire network wrapped with pristine graphene platelets. On page 7580, A. B. Dalton and team demonstrate that graphene present at inter‐wire junctions as well as graphene connecting adjacent wires contribute to a marked enhancement in electrical properties. The hybrid material shows promise as a potential replacement for indium tin oxide, commonly used in transparent electrodes for touch‐screen sensors.
