ARTICLES

Select this Article		The Physics of Baseball Robert K. Adair


		OpenURL
	+ -	Show Topic For almost a century and a half, baseball has played a significant role in defining the United States; in defining the physics of baseball we confront the ill‐defined physics of the world in which we live.

Select this Article		Controlling Chaos Edward Ott and Mark Spano


		OpenURL
	+ -	Show Topic The extreme sensitivity and complex behavior that characterize chaotic systems prohibit long‐range prediction of their behavior but paradoxically allow one to control them with tiny perturbations.

Select this Article		Stellar Optical Interferometry in the 1990s J. Thomas Armstrong, Donald J. Hutter, Kenneth J. Johnston, and David Mozurkewich


		OpenURL
	+ -	Show Topic After a decades‐long wait for the necessary technology to develop, optical interferometers will soon yield improved images of stars and precise measurements of stellar positions, motions and diameters.

Select this Article		Clouds Cast a Shadow of Doubt on Models of Earth's Climate Barbara Goss Levi


		OpenURL
	+ -	Show Topic According to three recent experiments, clouds appear to be absorbing more of the incoming solar radiation than they should—at least if our current understanding of cloud physics is correct. Researchers plan additional experiments, capable of measuring the wavelengths at which the absorption occurs, to obtain more clues about the source of the discrepancy.
