In its range and depth, physics in China is much like physics in other big, technologically advanced countries. The historical, political, and social contexts, however, are China’s own.
Diffraction around the head makes hearers mislocate sound sources
When light is obstructed by a small sphere, diffraction creates a bright spot at the center of the sphere’s shadow. Psychoacousticians are studying the acoustic analogue of that bright spot.
New neutron source aims to be top in energy and environmental stewardship
From windmills to green roofs, the European Spallation Source may be setting a trend for major scientific facilities.
Government handling of helium gets report card: Think again
Selling off the US national reserve of helium, as Congress mandated in 1996, “has adversely affected critical users of helium and is not in the best interest of the U.S. taxpayers or the country,”...
Ultracold neutral plasmas
By ionizing cold atoms or molecules with a laser, researchers get a glimpse of one of nature’s extreme regimes, in which many usual rules and approximations no longer apply
