The Cover Feature shows a procedure that enables the reductive hydro‐amination of aromatic alkynes in water as the only solvent. The reagents and the Ru catalyst are assembled within nanomicelles that release the final product into the water. The product is recovered from the water surface. The background shoreline image reminds us of the eternal relationship between the sea and mankind, who stays on dry land and obtains resources out of the sea. Nanomicellar reactors do the same, generating products in water and releasing them out of the water after the man on the beach has had fun playing with nanomicellar chemistry.
