The inside cover displays a confocal image of electroluminescent polymeric nanofibers embedding dye‐loaded zeolite L crystals obtained by electrospinning. Varun Vohra and co‐workers show on p. 1146 that such nanofibers exhibit a two‐step energy transfer (FRET) from the polymer to the dye molecule inside the zeolites. The stopcock molecule present at the channel entrances is the key to this two‐step energy transfer.
