Augmented model captures behavior in one-dimensional cuprates Forward this email  View in your browser THE WEEK IN PHYSICS: 20–24 SEPTEMBER Advertisement Nanopositioning Stages for Optical Delay Lines Precision motion control plays a big part in managing miniscule time increments critical for ultrafast spectroscopy and other time resolved processes. Advances in drive and encoder technology allow nanometer scale resolution and repeatability over long travel ranges, important for providing delay increments down to the attosecond range.

Heather M. Hill Unearthing Enrico Fermi's geophysics Archived materials from the Earth science course that the famous physicist taught highlight his unusual and effective pedagogical style. Gino Segrè October issue sneak peek Scientists dismayed by interruption at US's most productive neutron source The unplanned shutdown of a NIST reactor following a February accident has taken out the nation's leading center for cold neutron research. David Kramer Webinar LIVE WEBINAR: Teaching Tools for a Quantum Workforce Quantum information science and the educating of a quantum workforce has become a key focus for governmental laboratories and universities. Through this webinar you will learn more about the quantum education kits offered by qutools. Register now. FROM THE VAULT: December 1973 Energy crises in perspective Estimates of US energy resources and projections of future energy consumption show that the country has enough fossil fuel to last 500 years and enough nuclear fuel to last for a million years. John C. Fisher Q&A: Michelle Fournet on whale bioacoustics A restless curiosity about whales' interactions with humans led to a new career and a central place in a documentary film. Paul K.

October issue sneak peek Deep learning opens up protein science's next frontiers Computer models can now provide stunningly accurate predictions of proteins' three-dimensional structures. But what about their biological functions? Johanna L. Miller A superconducting circuit is a cooling teleporter A cloud of ultracold ions can lower the temperature of a trapped proton 9 cm away. Johanna L. Miller FROM THE SEPTEMBER MAGAZINE Illuminating gelatinous life in the deep sea Many transparent animals rely for survival on structures built from their own mucus. To study such organisms deep underwater, researchers are using robots outfitted with lasers. Joost Daniels, Alana D.
