Articles

  article   View from the Inside—The Fusion Program Has Changed Direction  Anne Davies, Director of the Office of Fusion Energy Sciences, tells us why, and what those changes are.

  article   Sandia Sells Seashells—New Tougher Transparent Coatings  The resilient seashell is the model for a one-step process to create a layered coating that is as much as seven times harder than equivalent unlayered coatings.

  article   Asymmetric Dancing Partners  Surprising new experimental evidence about deviations (asymmetry) in the behavior of matter from antimatter, which is much greater than predicted, challenges once again the completeness of the Standard Model as a detailed description of the smallest particles.

  article   Working Science—Quasars: Really Far Out Science  The most-distant quasar yet detected, an estimated 13 billion light years from Earth, has been discovered by astronomers at Princeton University.
