The Cover Feature illustrates the simultaneous actuation and light emission of a conducting polymer object in water, triggered by an external electric field in a wireless way (Cover image: Mariana Afonso; the cover has been designed using ressources from Freepik.com and art vectors from @macrovector and @freepik). The asymmetric polarization induces different redox reactions at its extremities, leading to a controlled deformation and an electron flow through an integrated LED. The resulting motion is remindful of the behavior of certain sea molluscs. More information can be found in the Article by B. Gupta et al. on page 941 in Issue 7, 2019 (DOI: 10.1002/cphc.201900116).
