The cover shows a Bench Reactor installed at the University of Utah at a cost of 5 million USD to develop a novel Flash Ironmaking Technology. In this reactor of 1 m diameter and 2 m length, iron concentrate is directly reduced to metallic iron in flight by reducing gas produced by partial combustion of natural gas through a unique burner, generating a swirling flow and heat (>1423 K). Further details can be found in the article 1900126 by Amr Abdelghany and co‐workers.
