High-Pressure Crystallography The cover features a multifunctional molecular crystal that exhibits emission, elastic bending, optical waveguiding, and remarkable resilience under high pressure. The reported work uncovers, with atomic precision, the mechanisms of stress-dissipation during elastic bending at ambient pressure and hydrostatic compression up to 3.63 GPa. The work also illustrates how computation-guided design can accelerate the discovery of pressure-resilient, elastically deformable molecular optical waveguides for future photonic technologies.
