The week in physics: Northern Ireland physics post-Brexit; Singing saws; Photonic waveguides

Northern Ireland physicists face a unique post-Brexit situation Forward this email  View in your browser THE WEEK IN PHYSICS: 2–6 MAY Advertisement AR's S1G6C Series AR's S1G6C models are Class A, solid-state, self-contained, air-cooled, broadband amplifiers designed for applications where instantaneous bandwidth, high gain, and linearity are required. A few models include the 75, 250, and 750S1G6C ranging from 250 W - 750 W CW, and 1 - 6 GHz with the 750 reaching 1.0 - 4.2 GHz; 500 W, 4.2 - 6 GHz. Learn more. Northern Ireland physicists face a unique post-Brexit situation The complexity of the Northern Ireland Protocol offers risks—and perhaps some short-term benefits—for the physical sciences community in the UK's smallest country. Sarah Wild Topological dynamics of a singing saw New work demonstrates a connection between the dynamics of thin shells and topological insulators. R. Mark Wilson Webinar Live Webinar: Electron–pairing mechanism of copper-oxide high temperature superconductivity We use atomic-scale visualization of the response of both charge-transfer energy and superconductive electron-pair density to alternations in unit-cell geometry. Concurrence with theory for hole-doped charge-transfer insulators indicates that charge-transfer superexchange is the electron-pairing mechanism of superconductivity in Bi2Sr2CaCu2O8+x. Register now. FROM THE VAULT: May 2017 It's time for physicists to talk about mental health The physics community needs to have a serious discussion about the mental health challenges facing graduate students. Andrea J. Welsh Photonic waveguides shed their cladding The slimmed-down conduits avoid cross talk between adjacent channels by using materials that support different wave modes. Christine Middleton Behind the Cover: May 2022 An artistic representation of the brain highlights the essential but hard-to-probe gaps between neurons. Heather M. Hill FROM THE MAY MAGAZINE Coulomb-explosion imaging tackles an 11-atom molecule Until now, the technique was thought to work only on molecules with no more than about five atoms. A powerful x-ray source leaves that limit in the dust. Johanna L.
