Volume 49, Number 3--March 1997

ABOUT THE COVER
In this issue, recent advances in conductive materials are detailed; through these advances, electronic applications are enhanced and improved. In the spirit of this theme, the cover features an award-winning image of a microchip from the 1996 Nikon International Small World Competition. The photograph was submitted by Karl E. Deckart, who won 17th place in the annual competition. For other materials-related winning entries from the most recent competition, refer to page 7 of NEWS & UPDATE.
