Elastic strain engineering. The articles in this issue of MRS Bulletin focus on the different research communities that use elastic strain to control functional properties of materials, including strained silicon technology, strain effects on chemical kinetics, strained ferroic films for tuning phase transformations, and strained atomic sheets and nanowires. The cover shows elastic deformation above 1% applied by “Feynman's hands” at the nanoscale, which can lead to drastically different physical and chemical properties (symbolized by the colors) from the stress-free material.
