No. 1. Exhibition visitors manipulate projected images of Buckyballs. (© Victoria Vesna and James Gimzewski) See “Public Engagement and the Art of Nanotechnology” by Kathryn D. de Ridder-Vignone in this issue.

No. 2. Paul S. Weiss and P. Han. Left and middle: Consecutive STM images from a series of a gold surface 90% covered with benzene molecules (round features), recorded at a temperature of 4 K in ultrahigh vacuum, area 40-Å-x-81-Å. Blue: molecules that move between images; red: their subsequent positions. Right: Molecular positions relative to the underlying gold atoms. (Adapted with permission from P.
