Sonja Boettcher Snow dunes cover most of Antarctica Analysis of the dunes suggests a scarcity of mobile snow. Jennifer Sieben Advertisement Precision Vacuum Hardware and Components Webshop When it comes to high and ultra-high vacuum systems, reliable hardware and components are critical to the integrity of your applications. Pfeiffer Vacuum Valves & Engineering is your source for vacuum isolation valves, flanges, fittings, traps, filters, feedthroughs, viewports, adapters, transitions, and more! FROM THE VAULT: September 1980 Unified theory of elementary‐particle forces At sufficiently small distances, perhaps less than 10−29 cm, the weak, electromagnetic, and strong interactions appear to be no more than different components of the same fundamental force. Howard Georgi and Sheldon L. Glashow Attendance sags at International Physics Olympiad in Iran Teams from the US and other countries that usually participate in the annual high school physics competition instead attended a European event in Georgia. Sonja Boettcher FROM THE SEPTEMBER MAGAZINE Q&A: Rebecca Smethurst, black hole researcher and YouTube star Dr. Becky aims to shrink the gender imbalance in the viewership of her astronomy videos. hannah H.
