The Cover Feature illustrates the self‐assembly of the peptide Boc‐Aib‐MABA‐Aib‐OMe, as examined under a transmission electron microscope. Nanofibres of different lengths are seen to be generated from spherical structures. Some of the nanofibers curl up at their tips, as seen from the TEM images. More information can be found in the Communication by M. V. Vardhishna et al on page 271 in Issue 3, 2019 (DOI: 10.1002/open.201800258).
