Forward this email  View in your browser THE WEEK IN PHYSICS: 21–25 JUNE Advertisement Achieve Higher Vertical Resolution ADC resolution, combined with digital signal processing and a low-noise front end, can provide even higher resolution than found in conventional high bit-rate ADC implementations. This paper describes the specification of Effective Number of Bits (ENOB) and how this important measure of system performance is properly applied, as well as its limitations. Learn more. Fire season in the western US is intensifying Forests in the Rocky Mountains are burning more frequently than in any other time over the past 2000 years. Alex Lopatka Commentary: Revamping graduate biophysics education Graduate programs should address the needs of students in a growing interdisciplinary field. Micah Brush, Jonathan Liu, and QinQin Yu FROM THE VAULT: August 1971 The search for high‐temperature superconductors Although superconductivity at room temperature will always remain a pipedream, temperatures as high as 25–30 K are a realistic possibility and will trigger a technological revolution. Bernd T. Matthias Webinar LIVE WEBINAR: Wave Optics Simulations Tune into this webinar to learn how to perform full-wave optical simulations using the COMSOL Multiphysics® software. We will give an overview of the Wave Optics Module and demonstrate how to use it for simulating the propagation of a Gaussian beam through a light guide. Register Now.
