In article number 1904746, Steven P. Hepplestone and co‐workers investigate the fundamental mechanism behind colossal permittivity exhibited in oxides. This unusual property is attributed to the formation of a thin metallic layer that forms between two insulating oxides, which becomes strongly polarized when under electric fields.
