Glass-ceramics contain one or more crystalline phases dispersed in a residual glass phase. The articles in this issue of MRS Bulletin highlight property combinations in glass-ceramics relevant to distinct applications. There are several overarching themes in common, including the proper selection of bulk composition to allow for crystallization of desired phases. Innovative applications of glass-ceramics owe their importance and continuing interest to hard-to-combine properties. The micrograph on the cover shows the result of devitrification of a supercooled CaOMgO-SiO2 liquid during cooling. The pyramid-shaped crystals are ∼1.5 mm in size and are embedded in residual glass. The micrograph was taken at the Vitreous Materials Laboratory of the Federal University of São Carlos, Brazil, by Eduardo B. Ferreira and Raphael M.C.V. Reis. See the technical theme that appears on page 195.
