The Cover Feature shows the scope and diversity of modern mechanochemical organic synthesis. Over the past decade, mechanochemical reactions conducted by milling, grinding, or other types of impact and shear have evolved into a powerful solvent‐free alternative to conventional solution chemistry. While enabling cleaner, more efficient chemistry, mechanochemistry provides a means to engage inert, insoluble reactants and opens a route to novel chemical transformations and products that have so far been tantalizing or even considered impossible to reach.
