This frontispiece illustrates the evolution of the concept of molecular gears from the study of intramolecular gearing motions in solution to the intermolecular transmission of mechanical power on a surface. The molecular gears are transported on the Great Wave off Kanagawa by the famous Japanese ukiyo‐e artist Hokusai and deposited on a gold surface where trains of gears can be studied.
