ON THE COVER: Solid–Liquid Interfaces: Molecular Structure, Thermodynamics, and Crystallization. (left) Transmission electron microscopy image of a partially molten In particle in Al, with contact angles indicated. (upper right, image on left) Single kink, 5.65 nm deep, on a [001] step (vertical dark line), 7.37 nm high, on the (010) face of orthorhombic lysozyme; the fringes parallel to the step are lattice planes intersecting the (010) face. (upper right, image on right) Straight steps along the crystallographic b axis on the growing (101) face of monoclinic lysozyme, with visible single kinks. (lower right) Atomistic simulation of a crystal nucleus in a Lennard-Jones glass. See the technical theme that begins on p. 920.
