Abstract

The front cover shows two‐dimensional hexagonal boron nitride sheets that are obtained from melt‐quenching. As described by NM Anoop Krishnan and co‐workers in article number 1900174, the structures exhibit a polycrystalline or glassy structure depending on the cooling rate. Furthermore, these structures are stable at room temperature, although they exhibit significant out‐of‐plane deflections.
