The front cover artwork is provided by the groups of Dr. Pussana Hirunsit (NANOTEC), Prof. Ken‐ichi Shimizu (Hokkaido University), and Prof. Masahiro Ehara (Institute for Molecular Science). The image shows an efficient amidation reaction on Nb 2 O 5 surface whose catalytic activity is correlated to the position of conduction band of active metal sites and the hybridization to substrates.
