Cover: The cover picture shows the ion‐induced negative‐shift of the lower critical solution temperature (LCST) of a novel thermo‐responsive smart copolymer. After capturing the guest potassium ions, the LCST value of the copolymer changes from LCST b to LCST a . The ion‐responsive behavior of the smart polymer is similar to the behavior of Venus flytraps. Further details can be found in the article by P. Mi, L.‐Y. Chu, * X.‐J. Ju, and C. H. Niu on page 27.
