COVER False-color scanning electron micrograph of oriented vaterite, a crystalline
	polymorph of calcium carbonate, formed through template-controlled nucleation.
	Formation starts with the aggregation of prenucleation clusters forming an amorphous
	phase from which the crystals develop at the template surface. This experimental process
	may be analogous to the natural formation of seashells and other marine skeletons.

The cover image depicts the three-dimensional network of poly(3-hexylthiophene) (P3HT) nanorods formed in a photoactive layer made of P3HT and a methanofullerene derivative PCBM. This network structure was reconstructed with nanometer resolution in all three dimensions by applying the technique of electron tomography. A great deal of new structural information that can never be obtained from conventional microscopy or scattering methods can be evaluated directly from the 3D volume data provided by electron tomography. The genuine three-dimensionality of the P3HT network, high crystalline order of P3HT, and favorable distribution of both P3HT and PCBM through the thickness of the photoactive layer account for high power conversion efficiency in the corresponding solar cell device.
