Front Cover : Coarse‐grained (CG) modeling is necessary to access large spatiotemporal scales for computational design of glass‐forming polymers. The recently proposed “energy‐renormalization” strategy is theoretically investigated by Wen Sheng Xu and Wenjie Xia in article 1900051 for polymers under varying degrees of coarse‐graining, showing promise in achieving temperature‐transferable CG modeling.
