This month's issue has the following articles: (1) Our Monthly Progress Report--Commentary by Cherry A. Murray; (2) Mimicking Nature's Crystalline Structures--Advanced microscopy and molecular modeling are providing insight on how crystals grow; (3) Simulating Materials for Nanostructural Designs--Models of water interacting with materials at the nanoscale show important property changes that will influence the design of nanodevices; (4) Zeroing In on New Targets--Livermore engineers and machinists craft tiny laser targets to specifications unattainable elsewhere; (5) Monitoring Nuclear Reactors with Antineutrinos--A new detector promises to ease the tracking of how much plutonium is being formed in the heart of a working nuclear reactor.
