The front cover illustration refers to the Editor's Choice article by Kapko, Drabold, and Thorpe. They study the electronic properties of a realistic atomistic model of amorphous graphene. The model contains odd‐membered rings, particularly five and seven membered rings and no coordination defects. The presence of odd rings in amorphous graphene leads to a very significant increase in the density of states in the vicinity of the Fermi level. The cover picture shows a graphene monolayer together with the calculated density of states. For more details go to page 1197 .
