Before the Big Bang and Twistor Theory, Old and New are accompanied with lecture notes that are also downloadable as pdf files.

ENJOY!

Face to Face is a series of video interviews of prominant scientists. Here you hear about their lives, their research and their concerns. Coming out of the Vega Science Trust. View and listen to Max Perutz, Ram Rao, Sir John “Kappa” Cornforth, Walter Kohn and more. Puts a real human face on the research.

Can’t get to Switzerland very often? Really into high energy physics?

CERN now provides video presentations of their Academic Lecture Series. You can view the videos, download them (if you wish to play clips for class discussion or to set up links in your WebCT syllabus) and download the “transparancies”.

Check out the list of lectures at: CERN Webcast Service

Requires RealPlayer.

The New England Journal of Medicine (NEJM) Audio Interview is a weekly interview with a medical researcher working in some of the “hottest” fields.

Yes, AIP is celebrating 75 years of service to physics communities world-wide. Check out their Anniverary Home page at: http://www.aip.org/anniversary/
There will be activities throughout the year, but NOTE: there will be live broadcasts today and tomorrow.

Also, the Journal of Applied Physics will publish its 100th volume this year. Over it’s 75 year history, it has published over 94,000 papers. Check out the history of this venerable journal at: http://jap.aip.org/jap/75th/journal_history.jsp

As part of the celebration of the 75th anniversary of Journal of Applied Physics, this special electronic collection of freely available articles highlights a sample of the most highly cited papers published in the journal over the years. The collection is divided into two sections: first are sample articles from Applied Physics Reviews, which is an integral part of the journal, followed by a selection of contributed articles from Journal of Applied Physics.
