Named after a Californian island that features a natural rock bridge, the Anacapa Society aims to help physicists at liberal arts colleges and other primarily undergraduate institutions (PUIs) carry out research in all areas of theoretical and computational physics. To meet that goal, the society helps theorists at PUIs collaborate with each other and with physicists at research universities. Its first workshop was held last month at Amherst College.
The American Institute of Physics and the American Physical Society have teamed up to publish Virtual Journal of Atomic Quantum Fluids. Like AIP’s other virtual journals, VJAQF compiles in one online location articles published elsewhere on specific topics of broad interest. Articles are selected for inclusion in VJAQF by a panel of expert editors.
Asteroid Watch is NASA’s new online resource for news and other information about asteroids, comets, and other near-Earth objects. The Jet Propulsion Laboratory created and maintains the site, which includes a Twitter feed for the latest alerts.
