In article number 1500314, L. Chen, G. Wang, X. L. Chen, and co‐workers use first‐principles calculations to reveal a new quasi‐sd 4 hybridization state for 2D face‐centered cubic (FCC) transition metal structures. A novel three‐shelled Au nanowire with a hexagonal close‐packed core is designed, wrapped by an FCC‐(111) shell in the quasi‐sd 4 hybridization state, and is shown to be a promising material for electronic devices.
