Invited for the cover of this issue is the group of Alex Adronov at McMaster University. The image depicts a stylized view of a metallic carbon nanotube that is being pulled into solution, and is related to the findings that the electronic nature of a conjugated polymer has an impact on its selectivity for metallic versus semiconducting single‐walled carbon nanotubes, allowing their selective dissolution.
