Cover: The cover image presents a novel straightforward method for producing uniaxially aligned polypropylene nanofibers, which is termed handspinning, as demonstrated by scanning electron microscopy analysis. FTIR analysis indicates that the molecular orientation of the polymer chains to the fiber axis is specifically in the trans‐planar conformation. The handspun sPP single nanofiber shows a higher Young's modulus and tensile strength. Further details can be found in the article by K. Watanabe, B.‐S. Kim, * Y. Enomoto, and I.‐S.
