Abstract The front cover artwork is provided by the NanoSystems for Analytics (NSYSA) research group of the Institute of Molecular Sciences at the University of Bordeaux. The image shows a macroporous gold surface that features an anisotropic molecular layer. Such gradient exhibits a wetting variation generated by reductive desorption of a self‐assembled monolayer by means of bipolar electrochemistry.
