The cover picture shows DNA strand displacement being accelerated by ultrafast photo‐crosslinking with 3‐cyanovinylcarbazole. The invader strand (red) containing CNV K, which can crosslink to a pyrimidine base in a complementary strand after a few seconds of photoirradiation, can crosslink to the template strand (blue) and push out the passenger strand (green). The rate of photo‐crosslinking is a key factor; the rate of DNA strand displacement can be accelerated by using ultrafast photo‐crosslinking and regulated by photoirradiation energy. More information can be found in the communication by K. Fujimoto et al. on page 1984 in Issue 20, 2017 (DOI: 10.1002/cbic.201700430).
