About the Cover:

Arts and Sciences Unite in Nanoput. In the article by Chanteau, Ruths, and Tour, the art, form, and precision of synthetic chemical science and the nanoscale are conveyed with chemical structures that are 2-nm tall and resemble human forms. These single-molecule figures with arms, legs, a torso, and a head are called "Nanoputians". To NanoKid (shown in the background), the progenitor of the Nanoputians, different "head" moieties were attached to produce recognizable diversity among the diminutive Nanoputian populace: NanoScholar, NanoBaker, NanoGreenBeret, NanoChef, NanoMonarch, NanoJester, NanoTexan, NanoAthlete, and NanoPilgrim.
