Front Cover: A method for mass production of biologically functional polymer nanofibers combining controlled flow and gyration is invented. In a one‐pot process, integration of gold nanoparticles into the nanofiber assembly is achieved using a gold‐binding peptide tag genetically conjugated to red fluorescence protein. The stability and biological functionality of the nanofibers created in this way are demonstrated by fluorescence spectrophotometry including a copper binding assay. Further details can be found in the article by S. Zhang, B. T. Karaca, S. K. VanOosten, E. Yuca, S. Mahalingam, M. Edirisinghe,* and C. Tamerler* on page 1322.
