The week in physics: Mineralogical carbon-capture; Venusian volcanism

Old data show new evidence for Venusian volcanism. Forward this email  View in your browser THE WEEK IN PHYSICS: 27–31 MARCH A mineralogical carbon-capture method works—but not the way we thought A rock-pulverizing technique for trapping CO2 does not produce carbonates, yet the process is surprisingly effective for a variety of rocks, new research reveals. Andrew Grant Old data show new evidence for Venusian volcanism Reanalyzed images of the planet's surface show topographical changes indicative of recent eruption activity. Alex Lopatka Advertisement The latest volume in the New York Times–bestselling physics series He taught us classical mechanics, quantum mechanics, and special relativity. Now, physicist Leonard Susskind, assisted by new collaborator André Cabannes, returns to tackle Einstein's general theory of relativity. Approachable yet rigorous, General Relativity is a must-read for anyone who wants a deeper knowledge of the universe's real structure. Learn more. FROM THE VAULT: May 2002 Singular limits An examination of how a more general theory can reduce to a less general theory and how higher-level phenomena can emerge from lower-level ones. Michael Berry Live webinar Live webinar: Magnetic Monopole Fluids Fundamental elementary particle physics allows for the existence of point-like magnetic charges, sometimes referred to as magnetic monopoles. Despite decades of searching, they have never been observed in particle experiments. However, emergent magnetic monopoles are thought to occur in lanthanide pyrochlore magnetic insulators. Those materials will make it possible to study fluids of flowing magnetic monopoles. Register Now. Behind the Cover: April 2023 A snow-swept field camp illustrates the harsh yet beautiful conditions for conducting research in Antarctica. Toni Feder You might have missed Gravitation's attraction, 50 years later How has a massive textbook that has not been updated remained so relevant? Ryan Dahn Whitepaper Advantages of sub 50 femtosecond pulses in multiphoton microscopy Sub 50 femtosecond pulse durations provide unprecedented multiphoton conversion efficiencies with intense peak powers. This high peak power makes these lasers ideal for a wide range of applications, including precision micromachining, medical procedures, biomedical imaging and specifically in multiphoton microscopy.
