Despite being exploited in the field of optics for decades, the fundamental understanding of disordered materials has begun to unfold only in recent years. In their article number 2100186, Peter Piechulla, Alexander N. Sprafke and co‐workers reveal how an exotic disordered configuration of scatterers, called hyperuniform disorder, unlocks a fundamentally new approach to tailor light scattering. The cover image shows a metasurface comprising a nearly‐hyperuniform disordered array of nanodisks in the background overlayed with its unusual high structured scattering response in the foreground.
