Front Cover: Towards Autonomous Materials–Challenges in Chemical Communication (ChemSystemsChem 3/2024)

Abstract

The Front Cover illustrates a robot communicating with surrounding entities using various (chemical) signals. Not all communication and signal processing is successful, hence the slight confusion on the robot′s face. The cover alludes to the breadth of and future challenges for chemical communication within autonomous materials and robots. Cover design by Dr. Kaja Sitkowska. More information can be found in the Concept by Michael M. Lerch and co-workers.
