ARTICLES

Select this Article		Consistent Histories and Quantum Measurements Robert B. Griffiths and Roland Omnès


		OpenURL
	+ -	Show Topic The traditional Copenhagen orthodoxy saddles quantum theory with embarrassments like Schrödinger's cat and the claim that properties don't exist until you measure them. The consistent‐histories approach seeks a sensible remedy.

Select this Article		Quantum Calorimetry Caroline Kilbourne Stahle, Dan McCammon, and Kent D. Irwin


		OpenURL
	+ -	Show Topic Novel detectors that operate at 60 millikelvin are now being used to study cosmic gas at millions of kelvin

Select this Article		Chaotic Dynamics and the Origin of Statistical Laws George M. Zaslavsky


		OpenURL
	+ -	Show Topic Chaotic dynamics in real systems does not provide finite relaxation time to equilibrium or fast decay of fluctuations, and chaotic systems are not completely random in the sense originally postulated for statistical systems. These properties may require rethinking some of the fundamental assumptions of thermodynamics.

Select this Article		Model Suggests Deep‐Mantle Topography Goes with the Flow Ray Ladbury


		OpenURL
	+ -	Show Topic As geochemists, modelers, and seismologists try to make sense of data from Earth's mantle, a new model poses challenges to each group and suggests that progress in understanding the deepest regions of the mantle can occur only on a broad front.
