Editorial: the May 2024 cover paper.

The May 2024 issue of the Journal of Materials Science features a cover paper titled "Role of stacking fault energy in confined layer slip in nanolaminated Cu" by Ji et al. The paper explores the deformation of metallic nanolaminates and acknowledges the contribution of Professor Hussein Zbib. The issue is dedicated to honoring Professor Zbib's memory and was conceived by Guest Editors Tariq Khraishi, Georges Ayoub, Sinisa Mesarovic, and Mutasem Shehadeh. The paper includes references to previous work but does not mention any measurements of the intrinsic stacking fault energy. The corresponding author is Professor Shuozhi Xu from the University of Oklahoma, and the last author is Professor I.J. Beyerlein, who has a background in research and was born in Los Alamos.
