ON THE COVER: Materials Research by Means of Multiscale Computer Simulation. (clockwise from bottom left) An atomistic-scale "snapshot" showing dislocation lines impinging on a grain boundary (the inclined plane on the right). The dislocations are formed at a crack tip (crack surfaces are shown yellow on the left). Courtesy of F. Abraham, IBM Almaden Research Center, San Jose, Calif. (top left) A microscale dislocation-dynamics simulation containing dislocations and point defects and illustrating the formation of defect-free channels in irradiated metals. Courtesy of T. Diaz de la Rubia, Lawrence Livermore National Laboratory, and H. Zbib, Washington State University.

Becker, Lawrence Livermore National Laboratory.
