February Feature Articles:

Superfluid Helium Droplets: An Ultracold Nanolaboratory
The unique environment in liquid helium droplets opens up new opportunities for molecular spectroscopy and for probing superfluid phenomena on the atomic scale -- J. Peter Toennies, Andrej F. Vilesov, and K. Birgitta Whaley

Physics for Profit and Fun
We can't just leave the design of frontier accelerators to the specialists. Inventing clever new ideas requires the same talents that it takes to do experimental physics -- Maury Tigner

Wolfgang Pauli
Max Born thought that Pauli was, perhaps, an even greater scientist than Einstein. "But he was a completely different type of man," wrote Born, "who, in my eyes, did not attain Einstein's greatness" -- Karl von Meyenn and Engelbert Schucking

A Remembrance of Pauli in 1950
-- Roy Glauber
