Front Cover: Bio‐nanocomposite fibers made from a Laponite cross‐linked poly (ethylene oxide) hydrogel stretch to extreme lengths and crystallize polymer chains. The fibers provide a matrix for cell proliferation, with cells aligning themselves along the fiber axis. Further information can be found in the article by A. K. Gaharwar, P. J. Schexnailder, A.
