In article number https://doi.org/10.1002/adma.2018042111804211, Ryota Sakamoto, Hiroshi Nishihara, and co‐workers discuss the accelerating world of graphdiynes from the points of view of history, variations, syntheses, theoretical and experimental approaches for physical properties, and the wide variety of applications. Research on the GDY family has begun in earnest, and further work given the accelerating progress in the current period, should ensure it fulfils its potential.
