ON THE COVER: Technical Features/Special Features. (upper-right montage, clockwise from left) Image of the structure and light emission from a crossed-nanowire light-emitting diode (see article by Lieber, p. 486); schematic representation of the growth of spin order along chains of the organic-based magnet [MnTPP][TCNE] (see article by Epstein, p. 492); crack propagating at a high stress intensity by the hydrogen-enhanced localized plasticity mechanism (see article by Birnbaum, p. 479); sample of 13th-century glass (see article by Römich, p. 500). (lower-left montage) Damage and decomposition in 35 mm cellulose nitrate films (see article by Aubert, p. 506); cutaway photograph of a 2003 Honda CBR600RR motorcycle, showing some of the advanced materials and fabrication techniques used to produce these high-speed machines (photo courtesy of American Honda Motor Co. Inc.; see article by Falco, p. 512).
