The cover picture shows a first break shot hitting tightly‐racked object balls with a cue ball in eight ball pool‐billiard, transposing photoexcitation of a hybrid titanium dioxide surface with a gold nanoparticles assembly immobilized via a biotin–streptavidin interaction. The impact transduced to the “gold” object balls on the “titanium dioxide” playing table, symbolizing efficient storage of the photogenerated negative charge among the gold nanoparticles, which was visualized by Kelvin force microscopy.
