The image depicts a series of electronic‐type sorted single‐walled carbon nanotubes suspended in solution. The rays of light emanating from behind the samples is suggestive of the solar energy that these materials help capture in organic photovoltaic cells. On p. 785 Mark Hersam and co‐workers demonstrate that the green metallic solutions yield transparent electrodes with improved stability compared to their red semiconducting counterparts.
