The Inside Cover picture shows the production of high‐quality transportation fuels from squalene, which is a typical algal hydrocarbon. The key step is the selective CC dissociation at internal secondary‐secondary bonds over ceria‐supported sub‐nanometer‐sized Ru particles with hydrogen. This catalytic process preferably gives branched alkanes with very simple distribution. More details can be found in the Communication by K. Tomishige et al. on page 2472 in Issue 15, 2015 .
