Mechanical behavior of nanocomposites. Although the initial interest in nanocomposites was to explore size effects on mechanical behavior, current research is focused around the new paradigm of interface-dominated/enabled mechanical behavior. Novel synthesis and in situ nanomechanical characterization tools as well as the use of advanced computational tools to accelerate the discovery, design, and fundamental understanding of the mechanical behavior of nanocomposites, are highlighted in this issue of MRS Bulletin. The cover image shows how silk and carbon nanomaterials have complementary mechanical properties that can combine to yield superior toughness and strength. See the technical theme that begins on page 19.
