ON THE COVER: New Developments in Colloid Science. Colloidal suspensions are of great scientific interest, motivated not only by their technological applications but also by their potential use as models to investigate the collective phase behavior of systems in which Brownian motion produces an equilibrium state, to explore fundamental questions of packing and geometry, and to fabricate new structures using the colloidal particles as building blocks. This issue of MRS Bulletin focuses on new developments in colloid science that illustrate some areas of current active interest. This month's cover is a montage of images from the articles by van Blaaderen and by Manoharan and Pine. See the technical theme that begins on p. 82.
