Graphene nanoribbon growth, simplified The synthesis of graphene nanoribbons inside layers of boron nitride makes it straightforward to grow them defect-free for use in high-performance electronics. R. Mark Wilson Behind the Cover: April 2024 The convection of groundwater under the salt flats in Death Valley accounts for the otherworldly polygon-shaped ridges that form on the surface. R. Mark Wilson Webinar Workshop—Inspiring Students to Think Like Physicists with Hands-On Data Collection and Real-World Modeling In the first half of this workshop, we will highlight how your students can investigate physics in the world around them. Discover how you can use your students' surroundings to introduce the concept of "goal-less problems," helping your class learn—and think—like physicists. Register now. FROM THE APRIL MAGAZINE Embracing interactive teaching methods New physics and astronomy faculty are excited about active teaching, but they still need support to implement the ideas in their classes.
