About the cover: Exciton valley hybridization in a strained 2D semiconductor: A combined real- and momentum-space view of a strained TMD shows biaxial strain bending the lattice, shifting the energies of different valleys. Excitons with different momenta and distinct valley character hybridize, forming new states with modified spin and valley properties, offering new methods for valley control and manipulation.
