The front cover artwork for Issue 09/2014 is provided by a collaboration of groups at the University of Wisconsin–Madison, Argonne National Laboratory, and Purdue University, as part of the Institute of Atom‐Efficient Chemical Transformations (IACT). The image shows the sintering of copper nanoparticles during liquid‐phase hydrogenation of furfural to furfuryl alcohol, as measured continuously at the Advanced Photon Source at Argonne National Laboratory (pictured in the background).
