The cover image shows a flexible microplasma jet device with a hollow‐core optical fiber producing a plasma plume that is quite narrow but long enough to apply direct treatment to single tumor cells. The microplasma induces apoptosis in murine melanoma cells in a dose‐dependent manner, and under certain conditions can selectively destroy tumor cells with no harm to murine fibroblasts. For more information, please read the Communication “Single‐Cell‐Level Cancer Therapy Using a Hollow Optical Fiber‐Based Microplasma” by S.‐O. Kim and co‐workers, beginning on page 1474 .
