However, navigating the complex landscape of EMC regulations and standards can be challenging for engineers, designers, and manufacturers. Register Now. Oppenheimer in the PT archives J. Robert Oppenheimer has been the subject of many articles in Physics Today. Here are a few items for those whose interest has been piqued by Christopher Nolan's new film. Ryan Dahn and Andrew Grant Toward faster, safer proton therapy Most facilities for zapping tumors with protons are extremely inefficient. But they don't have to be. Johanna L. Miller FROM THE VAULT: May 2017 Commentary: Diversity in physics: Are you part of the problem? Because many leading academic physics departments have no underrepresented-minority faculty members, current faculty must work harder to encourage, mentor, and support young physicists, create a welcoming climate, and promote the hiring of diverse faculty members. Ann Nelson Live webinar Webinar—Rediscovered Artifacts & Mysteries from the Hunt for the Neutrino A recently uncovered cache of materials that neutrino pioneers Clyde Cowan and Fred Reines collected includes records, keepsakes, and images that were packed away shortly after the electron antineutrino was first discovered in the flux from a reactor in South Carolina in 1956. Notes, images, and invoices offer an intimate glimpse of the efforts that led to first direct detection of neutrinos. Register now. August issue preview ITER appears unstoppable despite recent setbacks Repairs could take up to two years, but project officials believe they can perform them in parallel with the machine's assembly. Regulatory concerns are unresolved.
