The spin of an electron precesses in the molecular field of a magnetic thin film, as explored by Coriolan Tiusan, Michel Hehn, and co‐workers in article number 2000470. In the presence of a high molecular field, precession is ultra fast. The front cover image shows a representation of the spin precession (colored arrows) of an electron (gray balls) in the molecular field (pastel arrows) of a ferromagnetic material (blue balls).
