Front Cover: The picture presents a collage of an atomic force microscopy and a scanning electron microscopy image of a nanocomposite in which carbon nanotubes organise into honeycomb‐like networks, templated by an ordered colloidal polymer matrix. The resulting nanocomposites can be strained by over 200% and still retain high conductivity when relaxed. Such carbon nanotube assemblies provide excellent control over the structure–property relationships for a range of potential applications. Further details can be found in the article by I.
