In this review article, Wagner et al. (Article No. 201700394 ) shed light on a multi‐functional family of materials known as “the perovskites”, which are all derived from CaTiO 3 . Smart modifications in structure and composition result in a plethora of special features, including magnetism, superconductivity, catalytic‐, and photovoltaic activity. To say it with a proverb: Perovskites are like old dogs that learn easily new tricks and, surprisingly, this is ongoing since almost 70 years.
