Dynamic molecular crystals are a distinct class of underexplored materials that have ordered structure similar to metals and softness characteristic for polymers and elastomers. Nevertheless, a lingering question remains: how useful they are for actual applications? In article number 1906216, Panče Naumov and co‐workers set performance indices, which place dynamic crystals in the global materials property space.
