On page 5621, J. Kenvin, J. Pérez‐Ramírez, and coworkers demonstrate differential hysteresis scanning by high‐resolution argon sorption and positron annihilation spectroscopy as powerful tools to quantify the complex architecture of pore networks in hierarchical faujasite zeolites and their efficiency in transport processes. The descriptors attained by these complementary techniques further advance the design of porous materials for a wide range of applications. The creatures in the cover, exploring a tortious cave system, exemplify the challenges with pore accessibility and connectivity.
