Electron emission devices have seen a recent resurgence due to their ability to operate in air, without vacuum encapsulation. The cover illustration shows the evolution of vacuum and air‐channel transistor designs from the conventional Spindt structure to reimagined field effect transistor structures, providing the combined advantages of low cost, small size, and superior carrier transport, as reviewed in article number 1900039 by Shruti Nirantar, Sharath Sriram, and co‐workers.
