With the advent of nanotechnology, metals will have to be processed at a much smaller scale and new engineering concepts are required. On page 91 , Khattiya Chalapat and co‐workers demonstrate the assembly of metallic nano‐3D‐structures by plastic deformation that is induced either on the surface by reactive ion etching or within the metal matrix by focused ion beam. The front cover image illustrates a metallic nanocubic structure being unfolded by an ion beam.
