Life after Schrödinger

It is difficult to imagine how a discovery in physics could reverberate around the world in the same way that Dolly the cloned sheep has in recent weeks. As biologists clone sheep and monkeys – albeit with only one event in noisy backgrounds of several hundred failed attempts – physicists are still trying to ‘clone’ […]

The continued menace of communism in Russia

One might think that the grandiose experiment over the lives of hundreds of millions of people that Bolsheviks (communists) had launched in 1917 ran its full course and the total impotence of the communist ideology […]

Thinking small

As Physics World went to press in mid-February, the DESY laboratory in Hamburg, Germany, was playing down reports that evidence for new physics – rumoured to be supersymmetry – had been found in high-energy scattering events at the HERA collider. Conclusive proof of new physics beyond the Standard Model of particle physics is the dream […]

Too little?

Too little?

The announcement that undergraduate physics teaching is to be phased out at the University of East Anglia (UEA) has sent a shiver through the UK physics community. Students admitted last year will finish their course, hopefully graduating in 2000, but there will be no fresh intake into physics this autumn, and staff who retire will […]

This is the 100th issue of Physics World. The occasion is marked by a small section that starts with an article by Philip Campbell, who edited the first 85 issues of Physics World before leaving to become editor of Nature, and ends with my own efforts to predict the future. In that item I make […]
