The Front Cover shows the crystallinity transition occurring in the seeded growth of gold@silver core‐shell nanocrystals. In particular, when silver is deposited on single‐crystal gold seeds under kinetic control, the resultant products exhibit planar defects, and thus the shape of a truncated right bipyramid, instead of forming gold@silver core‐shell nanocubes with crystallinity consistency. The current strategy enables more precise control over the morphology of multi‐metallic nanocrystals. More information can be found in the Full Paper by Y. Zheng et al.
