Surfaces and interfaces are expected to play an important role in determining the effi ciency, structural integrity, and reliability of various systems, including energy generation/storage devices, machinery elements, and bioimplants. Surface engineering is vital for tailoring the composition, microstructure, texture of the surfaces at multiple length scales to improve the properties. The forefront of this area continues to evolve with exploration of new concepts and methodologies, novel surface processing routes, microstructure analysis, property evaluations, and simulation/modeling. The feature topic of this JOM issue is intended to provide the readers a representative spectrum of current research efforts in this rapidly evolving fi eld of surface engineering with special emphasis on energy systems and bioapplications. The papers are discussed briefl y. The fi rst paper, “Application of Carbon Nanostructures—Energy to Electronics,” by I. Lahiri et al., presents an overview of the development of new engineering nanomaterials (CVD grown graphene and carbon nanotubes) and their applications in the fi eld of energy generation and storage. The proposed carbon-based materials Surface Engineering for Energy Sustainability and Bio-applications
