This Week in Physics Magazine — April 3, 2023 Special Feature Podcast: Life at the South Pole Science Station March 28, 2023 Two physicists and a chef talk about the joys and challenges of spending the entire polar winter at the Amundsen–Scott South Pole Station. Research News New Accuracy Record for Molecular Lattice Clock March 28, 2023 Researchers have attained a 100-fold increase in the accuracy of a molecular clock that could serve as a terahertz-frequency standard and as a platform for investigating new physics. Research News Racial Inequity in Key Publication Metrics March 30, 2023 Non-white scientists—in particular Black scientists—are underrepresented on editorial boards, receive proportionally fewer citations, and experience longer review times for their papers, factors that can all impact their career prospects. synopsis Quantum on a Microgram Scale March 29, 2023 An experiment with an acoustic resonator demonstrates the quantum superposition of $10^{16}$ atoms—nearly matching the ability of matter interferometers to test quantumness on macroscopic scales. synopsis Exploring the Borders of the Nuclear Landscape March 31, 2023 Scientists have precisely measured the masses of 19 neutron-rich nuclei, discovering a new isotope of uranium in the process. Focus How Order Emerges in Bendy Beam Bunches April 3, 2023 The behavior of a collection of squeezed elastic beams is determined by geometry, not by complex forces. synopsis Spinning Heat in Reverse March 30, 2023 When spun fast enough, a cold object can transfer heat to a nearby hot object. 1 Physics Ellipse, College Park, MD 20740 © 2023 American Physical Society | All rights reserved View Email Online You are receiving this message because you signed up to receive Physics Magazine email alerts or are a member of APS.
