Summary:Grain size and shape and the structure of grain boundaries greatly influence the mechanical, electrical, and optical properties of polycrystalline metals and alloys. In this issue of Chem, Nagaoka et al. take a bottom-up approach to grain boundary engineering by consolidating colloidal nanocrystals into millimeter-scale polycrystalline and metallic glass samples.
