Outside Front Cover: High‐Throughput Computational Screening of Small Molecular Crystals for Sustainable Piezoelectric Materials (Angew. Chem. Int. Ed. 18/2025)
Molecular crystals that belong to non-centrosymmetric space groups demonstrate piezoelectricity by interconverting electrical and mechanical energy. The cover image shows molecular crystal unit cells interlocking into a crystalline electrified assembly. As Pierre-André Cazade, Sarah Guerin et al. demonstrate in their Research Article (e202501232), the unit cell can be studied using computational chemistry to predict the piezoelectric response of a crystal and screen for sustainable materials in sensing, actuation, and energy harvesting.
