In article number 2003832 by Jian Zhou, Ju Li, and co‐workers, optomechanical theory is derived and applied to predict terahertz optics driven ultrafast and reversible topological phase transitions in transition metal dichalcogenide monolayers, which is a damage‐free and non‐contacting approach that compensates other strategies. The cover displays such a novel optical strategy to trigger a thermal topological phase transition.
