Adventures in Antarctica: photographing physicists on the White Continent

This issue offers a chance to feast your eyes on some stunning images of scientific research in the White Continent, taken a few months ago by photojournalist Enrico Sacchetti. Sacchetti’s photographs are amazing and in the article he explains his experiences of travelling to Antarctica and taking pictures in what is one of the world’s harshest environments. Elsewhere in the June issue, we look at the ethics of nanotechnology; examine a 10-year dispute into stripy nanoparticles; and travel to Brazil – just as the FIFA World Cup gets under way – to see how physicists in the country are faring. There might have been protests about the amount being spent on the football tournament, but funding for science has been healthy, more than quadrupling over the last decade.
