The week in physics: Citation rates differ by gender; Attack on Kharkiv Institute of Physics and Technology; Mpemba effect

Physics papers authored by women are cited less than those by men Forward this email  View in your browser THE WEEK IN PHYSICS: 7–11 MARCH Advertisement Peering inside carbon nanotubes When Vikram Desphande wanted to study the behavior of electrons coursing through carbon nanotubes, he turned to ICEoxford's DRY ICE 1.5K 70 mm cryostat. See how the cryostat is allowing the University of Utah physicist to conduct innovative measurements of delicate quantum effects. Read now. Physics papers authored by women are cited less than those by men A recent analysis shows a consistent gender citation gap even when factors such as seniority are considered. Dalmeet Singh Chawla Prominent Ukrainian physics institute imperiled by Russian attacks Fortunately, the Kharkiv Institute of Physics and Technology's new nuclear research facility likely doesn't present a radiation threat. Andrew Grant FROM THE VAULT: March 2000 Atmospheric infrasound The search for ways to monitor compliance with the Comprehensive Test Ban Treaty has sparked renewed interest in sounds with frequencies too low for humans to hear. Alfred J. Bedard Jr and Thomas M. Georges Whitepaper Dual Curing Adhesives For a UV curable adhesive, the cure initiates after exposure to UV light at a wavelength that is specific to the photo-initiator used in the formula. Learn more about the advantages of dual cure adhesives for your bonding, coating, sealing or encapsulation application. Read now. Mpemba effect runs in reverse Observations of a confined particle reveal that initially cold systems reach a high final temperature faster than initially warm systems, breaking with intuition but not theory. Ashley Piccone DOE looks to coal wastes to increase US supply of rare-earth elements President Biden touts initiatives underway to expand domestic critical minerals production. David Kramer Whitepaper Sensitive EQE Device Characterization A look at performing sensitive external quantum efficiency (sEQE) characterization as a means for studying low-energy phenomena, such as charge transfer states, traps, and defects in solar cell technologies. Lock-in detection is used in sEQE to extract the small photoresponse at long wavelengths. Read now. FROM THE MARCH MAGAZINE Diamond's sparkle is in more than gemstones The transparent carbon allotrope is finding new applications, but expanded use for electronics will depend on further advances in crystal growth.
