Switching—It Is Universal! Join the highway where, irrespective of the environment, be it solution, self‐assembled monolayers, polymer matrices, or molecular switch tunnel junctions—and independently of the bistable molecular switches, be they catenanes or rotaxanes—a single and generic switching mechanism is observed for all bistable mechanically interlocked molecules, as described by J. F. Stoddard, J. R. Heath, J. O. Jeppesen et al. on p. 261 ff. The cover picture is designed from a concept by Amar Flood enriched by Scott Vignon; the artwork for the front cover was produced by Anthony Pease [the cover artwork was produced using POVTree by Gena Obukhov (implementing TomTree by Tom Aust) and stsky.inc by Jaime Vives Piqueres].
