The inside cover shows “the smoothest surface ever made”, a quantum‐stabilized, atomically flat Pb film on Si(111), reflecting a He beam. Rodolfo Miranda, Amadeo L. Vazquez de Parga, and co‐workers report on p. 3492 that this helium mirror can also be electrostatically bent to focus the He beam into a sub‐micrometer spot, implying that current prototype scanning helium atom microscopy/diffractometry instruments could easily reach nanometer resolution.
