Front Cover: A novel rotating pressurized device is invented for the ambient temperature production of polymer nanofibers in a commercially‐attractive way. The method involves a simple rotating vessel kept under pressure. The fiber diameter, length, and size distribution can be tailored to suit and the process has many advantages over conventional methods, e.g., it does not require the high electric fields used in electrospinning. More details can be found in the article by S. Mahalingam and M. Edirisinghe* on page 1134 .
