Cover: No more broken hearts with an autonomous self‐healing ureidopyrimidinone (UPy) hydrogel; a heart shaped UPy‐hydrogel object comprising 85 wt% water and 15 wt% of a hydrophilic UPy‐polymer is obtained after extrusion, the object is cut in two and healed again by simply reas‐sembling both original halves and pressing them together. Further details can be found in the article by G. M. L. van Gemert, J. W. Peeters, S. H. M. Söntjens, H. M. Janssen, and A. W. Bosman* on page 234 .
