On the Cover

Two scanning tunneling microscopy images of the same four single, and one cluster of, gold adatoms on a gold surface (solid background) partially covered with C60 (patterned background). The image on the right, taken with a C60 tip, reveals submolecular structure at the adatoms. See also Physical Review Focus story. Selected for Editors' Suggestions.
