The Front Cover picture illustrates that silicon adapts in the predominant α modification the cubic diamond structure that significantly limits solar cells efficiency. A surprisingly simple way allows for rebuilding new three‐dimensional structures of tetrel elements by modifying slabs of the diamond structure. More information can be found in the Full Paper by T. F. Fässler and co‐workers on page 1992 in Issue 15, 2017 (DOI: 10.1002/cphc.201700290).
