Forward this email  View in your browser THE WEEK IN PHYSICS: 27 JUNE–1 JULY Webinar Editor's series live webinar: Designing Biomimetic Colloidal Assembly of Active Materials How does nature build materials that make cells move, divide and multiply? Pushing everything away from equilibrium by consumption of fuels might be the answer! During this webinar, we will show how to take these fuel-dependent processes and translate them to synthetic colloidal systems in a quest for new dynamic materials. Register now. The Higgs boson discovery, 10 years later Authors reflect on the historic achievement a decade ago and examine the current state of particle physics. CERN's Higgs boson discovery: The pinnacle of international scientific collaboration? Decades of effort to establish a global, scientist-managed high-energy-physics laboratory culminated in the discovery of the final missing piece of the discipline's standard model. Michael Riordan Lessons from a decade with the Higgs boson Measurements of ever-increasing precision indicate that the particle closely matches the one predicted by the standard model, which has implications for new-physics searches and even the stability of the universe. Haider Abidi, Heather M. Gray, and Martina L. Ojeda Webinar Live webinar: Cryogenic Raman imaging and spectroscopy This presentation will describe cryogenic Raman imaging before providing application examples that demonstrate its ability to take molecular characterization right to the edge of absolute zero, with full polarization control and in high magnetic fields. Register now. FROM THE VAULT: November 1966 Physics and life prolongation New methods for freezing and storing at low temperatures might lead to many new potentialities for the human race, the most exciting of which would be the opportunity for dying individuals to avail themselves of future medical progress. Gerald Feinberg Webinar Live Webinar: Simulating Metamaterials with COMSOL Multiphysics® Metamaterials and metasurfaces have received an increasing amount of interest in academia and industry over the past twenty years. This is because specifically designed metamaterials can control electromagnetic waves in unprecedented ways. We will cover the basics of metamaterials and metasurfaces and demonstrate how their behavior can be simulated using COMSOL Multiphysics®. Register now. My story of the Higgs discovery Particle physicist Sau Lan Wu chronicles the weeks leading up to the historic 4 July 2012 announcement at CERN. Sau Lan Wu The sound of deep-frying Three types of steam-filled bubbles that form in hot oil produce distinct audio signatures. Christine Middleton FROM THE JULY MAGAZINE Thermodynamics of the climate system To understand Earth's climate, think of it as a giant, planetary-scale heat engine that drives the circulation of the oceans and atmosphere.
