In article number 1907167, Kimihisa Yamamoto and co‐workers describe the fabrication of gallium clusters, including a superatomic 13‐atom cluster, in solution with dendrimer templates, to demonstrate the effects of changing the number of atoms in a cluster. The chemical or physical properties are characterized and analyzed through transmission electron microscopy observation, mass spectroscopy, and electro chemical measurements, focusing on their reactivity and rigidity.
