Front Cover: Molecular Origins of Philicity: How Atomic Interactions Determine Miscibility and Diffusivity (ChemPhysChem 13/2026)

The Front Cover illustrates how nature controls the miscibility of multicomponent molecular liquids by tuning their interactions, in particular the range and depth of the interaction potential. Just as a DJ shapes the atmosphere on a dance floor, these parameters dictate whether molecular components mix or phase-separate. Linking features of the interaction potentials to distinct mixing tendencies is a nontrivial challenge, illuminated by theoretical chemistry.
