The week in physics: Women in quantum history; Saving federal research databases; Ballooning

The week in physics: 9–13 June We want to know how we can better serve our readers. If you're interested in being part of a focus group, please fill out this form. ADVERTISEMENT Pumps with LeakTight Safety Backup Handling hazardous or expensive gases and vapors requires extra care. KNF LeakTight pumps offer ultralow leak rates of <6x10-6 mbar L/sec and a safety backup diaphragm, plus safeguards against intrusion contamination. Flow rates from 15–300 L/min. Options include explosion-proof motors and flow path material choices for chemical compatibility. Learn more. Highlighting women in quantum history The authors of a new book tell the stories of 16 women who made crucial contributions to quantum physics yet whose names don't usually appear in textbooks. Ryan Dahn Scientists scramble to save threatened federal research databases Amid funding and workforce cuts, US physical sciences databases are in jeopardy. Jenessa Duncombe From the vault: February 1972 Physics looks at waste management What are the best ways to find out what is in our waste, sort and separate it, return to service any parts that can be used again and properly dispose of the remainder? David J. Rose, John H. Gibbons, and William Fulkerson Ballooning in Albuquerque: What's so special? A unique valley and mountain circulation forms a natural route for balloonists to navigate the atmosphere. Michael Anand From the June issue How stars shape galaxies The energy and momentum that stars inject into the gas that surrounds them dramatically influence subsequent star formation.
