Abstract

Superconductivity In this Research Article (DOI: 10.1002/andp.202500534) Jingyu Hou, Xiang-Feng Zhou, and co-workers illustrate a potential route toward achieving high-temperature superconductivity in icosahedron-based boron-rich frameworks. The cover image background features a stylized atomic arrangement of the icosahedral B13C2 framework, depicted with golden spheres trailing subtle light streaks to visually represent the dynamic effect of Li removal from the structure. In the foreground, a schematic of Cooper pair formation is overlaid on the high-speed light streaks, emphasizing the emergence of high-temperature superconductivity in B13C2 after Li extraction.
