Abstract The cover picture refers to the Feature Article by Jos Thijssen and Herre Van der Zant (pp. 1455–1470) which reviews single electron effects in nanosize systems. The presentation is aimed at the novice researcher in this field and covers many different aspects of transport on the mesoscopic scale. Sample systems used to illustrate the phenomena occurring in this field include carbon nanotubes, semiconductor quantum dots, metallic islands, nanowires and, above all, molecular transport.
