The Front Cover illustrates how magnesium microswimmers – represented by fish – locate sites of iron corrosion, for example the anchor in sea water in the picture. The microswimmers are guided by the pH gradient to the corrosion site, where they form a local protection layer. More information can be found in the Article by Alexander Kuhn and co‐workers.
