On the Cover

Optical microscope images of a colloidal capsule with an inhomogeneous shell, buckled under an external osmotic pressure; scale bar is 35 μm (top). Numerically simulated shell similar to the experimental capsule; color reflects spatially varying shell thickness (bottom). Elapsed time increases from left to right.
