European Union nations grapple with nuclear waste storage The contrasting outcomes of countries' efforts demonstrate the complexities in planning and developing permanent repositories for spent fuel and other radioactive material. Vedrana Simičević Uranus's hidden polar cyclone, revealed Microwave observations peer into the atmospheric dynamics of the oddball seventh planet. Johanna L. Miller FROM THE VAULT: April 2002 Sodium detected in the atmosphere of an extrasolar planet As predicted by models, sodium atoms in the atmosphere of a remote planet are abundant enough that researchers have been able to see them. But they're also scarce enough to prompt some rethinking of the models.

Andrew Grant Live webinar Webinar—How to Become a Successful Physicist The problem-solving process of many skilled scientists is based on a consistent set of 29 decisions. These decisions provide guidance for learning both how to become a good physicist and how to train aspiring physicists. I will provide examples for how to provide students opportunities to practice these decisions and for how to provide feedback on how to improve. Register Now.
