ARTICLES

Select this Article		Vacuum Tunneling: A New Technique for Microscopy Calvin F. Quate


		OpenURL
	+ -	Show Topic The scanning tunneling microscope resolves individual atoms on surfaces by probing the surface electron wavefunctions with the tip of an extremely sharp needle, revealing a new world of steps, terraces and atomic arrays.

Select this Article		The Weak Interactions From Now On Steven Weinberg


		OpenURL
	+ -	Show Topic Their spin structure, flavor dependence and their very weakness remain major puzzles, but these have now become subsumed into the general problems of elementary particles.

Select this Article		Giant Resonances in Hot Nuclei George F. Bertsch and Ricardo A. Broglia


		OpenURL
	+ -	Show Topic Dipole oscillations in which all the protons in a nucleus move relative to all the neutrons are now seen not only in nuclear absorption processes, but also in the emission spectra of highly excited nuclei.
