Far from the frontier

Article Abstract:

Physicist Seth Putterman, who has a talent for bringing long-forgotten mysteries back to the fore, is sure of himself, enthusiastic, smart, thinks fast on his feet and can be abrasive as hell. Putterman explored an unusual phenomenon, the creation of light from sound, beginning with a glass cylinder filled with water and glycerin mixture and by vibrating the cylinder at a low frequency, could create a single bubble that would rhythmically expand and collapse, and while doing so, released a tiny flash of light.

Can electrons do the splits?

Article Abstract:

Physicist Senthil Todadri is making waves in condensed-matter physics and is helping to build a new theoretical framework that could explain the exotic materials like superconductors at certain temperatures. Senthil has pursued an idea that an electron added to a material can split under the right circumstances, so that a fraction of its charge goes one way and a bit of its spin the other.

Pentagon attempts to bend light to its will

Article Abstract:

A research initiative is being launched by the Pentagon to investigate negatively refractive materials-structures that seem to defy basic physics by bending light. The new initiative will explore the physics and investigate the uses of negatively refracting materials in real systems.
