The cover image shows a stretchable photovoltaic module consisting of ultrathin, inorganic solar cells interconnected in mesh‐like geometries and mounted onto structured elastomeric substrates, as reported by Yonggang Huang, John A. Rogers, and co‐workers on p. 986 . Mechanical deformations are accommodated by the flexible interconnects of the mesh and stretchable trenches of the substrate.
