A 3D map of galactic magnetic fields Stellar distances provided by the Gaia spacecraft enable astronomers to home in on the magnetic fields of individual interstellar gas clouds along a spiral arm of the Milky Way. Stephen Case Q&A: J'Tia Hart on nuclear security and mentorship The director of nuclear nonproliferation at Idaho National Laboratory wants young people to know that they can bring their full selves to careers in science and engineering. Toni Feder Webinar Webinar: Modeling Optical Nanostructures with COMSOL Multiphysics® Accurate simulation of optical interaction with wavelength-sized structures requires full-wave modeling. The COMSOL Multiphysics® simulation platform, with the add-on Wave Optics Module, makes it possible to model periodically arranged nanostructures as well as single metallic or dielectric nanoparticles on substrates.

FROM THE VAULT: April 2021 Q&A: Shirley Ann Jackson on navigating the ivory tower as a Black woman The renowned high-energy physicist was the first Black woman to earn a doctorate from MIT. David Zierler Attosecond analysis illuminates a watery mystery With powerful x-ray free-electron lasers, researchers are making great strides in ultrafast spectroscopy—with lessons about how molecules arrange themselves at rest. Johanna L. Miller Webinar Webinar: The Global Helium Market: Update and Expectations In this presentation on the state of the helium market, we will review the causes of Helium Shortage 4.0, summarize the current situation in the helium market, and discuss the outlook for helium supply and demand going forward. Register now. FROM THE FEBRUARY MAGAZINE US takes another look at recycling nuclear fuel Proponents see a reduction in the need for uranium mining and more efficient, cheaper reactors. Opponents see a risk of proliferation.
