Cooperativity is one of the most important underlying principles for biological systems and gregarious animals. As shown on the cover, through the cooperative efforts of a group of small ants, large objects like a leaf can be moved. This phenomenon in nature is similar to the observation reported by W. Jiang et al. in their Communication on page 709 ff.: Strong cooperativity can be achieved through activating relatively weak non-covalent interactions.

合作性是生物系统和群居动物最重要的基本原理之一。如封面所示，通过一组小蚂蚁的共同努力，可以移动像树叶一样的大物体。本质上，这种现象与W. Jiang等人报道的观察结果相似。在第709页及其后的“交流”中：可以通过激活相对较弱的非共价相互作用来实现强大的合作性。
