P. James Viccaro is the new editor of the Journal of Applied Physics, published by the American Institute of Physics. Viccaro, a University of Chicago physicist who uses x rays for materials studies and was one of the planners of the Advanced Photon Source at Argonne National Laboratory, took the reins on 1 January. He succeeds Steven Rothman, who remains a consulting editor. During his 11-year watch, Rothman says, the number of submissions skyrocketed, and the fraction coming from the US dropped from 60% to 25%—although the fraction accepted from the US remains higher than that.
