The Back Cover picture illustrates the attachment of iodine atoms onto the headgroup of an amphiphilic zwitterion, which leads to the formation of a bicontinuous cubic liquid‐crystalline assembly with a primitive‐type infinite periodic minimal surface. More information can be found in the Communication by T. Ichikawa, H. Ohno and co‐workers on page 439 in Issue 5, 2016 (DOI: 10.1002/open.201600054).
