Front Cover: Providing equilibrated starting states for computer simulations of dense, long‐chain polymer melts marks a huge challenge. The cover image shows a snapshot of a melt of M = 1000 chains of length N = 2000, highlighting one chain of characteristic shape, generated by an improved feedback methodology, which directly constructs the chains and does not require long‐time equilibrations runs. Further details can be found in the article by L. A. Moreira, G. Zhang, F. Mueller, T. Stuehn, and K. Kremer* on page 419 .
