Web Watch

 

January 2001 page 27

Physics Central

With the self-proclaimed aim of communicating "the excitement and importance of physics to everyone," the American Physical Society has launched Physics Central. The offerings on the weekly changing Web site include "Physics in Action," "People in Physics," and "Picture of the Week," as well as the opportunity to quiz physicist Lou Bloomfield about how things work.

AuroraWatch
AuroraEarth's aurora borealis is the subject of AuroraWatch, a Web site produced by the physics department at the University of York in England. Linked to live data feeds from several Earth- and spaceborne detectors, the site provides predictions for when the aurora is likely to be visible from the UK and elsewhere.

LAM Network

logoPhysicists in Africa who work in the field of lasers, atoms, and molecules have formed the LAM Network. The Internet-based association is intended to promote pure and applied research and to break the scientific isolation of African universities and research structures.
