On the Cover

Phase diagram and magnetic-susceptibility plot of the strongly correlated metal URu₂Si₂, showing the "hidden order" (HO) and field-induced reentrant (RHO) phases. "Hidden order" refers to a yet-unidentified order parameter, while the RHO phase is thought to be created at a magnetic-field-tuned quantum critical point.
