The Front Cover shows nitrogen molecules (N 2 ) reacting to form ammonia (NH 3 ) at ambient temperatures and pressure on small Ru clusters distributed over a substrate of carbon. The Ru catalyst supports the reduction reaction at low overpotentials where the production of hydrogen as a byproduct is minimized. The production of ammonia from renewable energy is a vital step towards a carbon‐free society since ammonia today is produced from fossil‐fuel‐based hydrogen.
