The Front Cover shows that the SAPO materials were not obtained by any magic trick but by use of the organic molecule depicted over the magician's hat. The frogs in the cavities represent a “word game”, as in Portuguese and Spanish (the mother tongues of the authors) “frog” means “sapo”, while, in the article, they are zeolite‐type materials (S: silicon, A: aluminum, P: phosphorus, O: oxygen). The micrographs and crystallographic representations pertain to the two different structures synthesized, the LTA and CHA zeotypes. More information can be found in the Full Paper by P. Vinaches and S. B. C. Pergher. For more on the story behind the cover research, see the Cover Profile .
