The structural transition from a crystalline solid to its melt is central to understanding crystal nucleation and growth, but it is difficult to image directly on the atomic scale. On p. 2716 , Peter Schall and co‐workers use novel thermosensitive colloidal systems as models to obtain new insight into this structural transition. The pictures show computer reconstructions obtained from the 3D imaging of a real colloidal crystal‐fluid interface. Cover design by Rob Bekker, www.robbekker.com .
