Outside Front Cover: Predicting and Rationalizing Piezoelectricity in Racemic Bioorganic Molecular Crystals

Chiral molecules tend to crystallise in non-centrosymmetric space groups and demonstrate piezoelectricity. This cover image shows a rarer illuminated racemic crystal that interconverts electrical and mechanical energy. In Research Article e24346, Shubham Vishnoi and Sarah Guerin screen a large number of racemic crystals for their electromechanical properties using high-throughput density functional theory, uncovering new sustainable material chemistries and unit cell design rules.
