Christmas image of the week: X-ray scattering
The second of our festive Images of the Week.
Image of the week: particles in a box
To be able to control chemical reactions on a quantum level holds huge potential for redesigning chemical synthesis and a host of other applications. An established way of doing this is through the use of laser pulses interacting with molecules. … Read More ›
Jonathan Tennyson – molecules on other planets
Analysing the atmospheres of exoplanets needs knowledge of the molecules they are made up of. University College London’s Professor Jonathan Tennyson is working on the ExoMol project to do just that. We talk to him about his work.
Image of the week: that’s no moon
But nor is it a space station. While it might bear some resemblance to a certain location from a famous film franchise, today’s Image of the Week entry is actually a visual representation of the properties of a laser pulse…. Read More ›
Introducing Letters from the Journal of Physics
Just one of the things we’re doing to make sure great science can get to the right people.
David B. Cassidy: trapping positronium
We talk to Professor David B. Cassidy from the Atomic, Molecular, Optical and Positron Physics group at University College London about his work with positronium – an exotic atom made of matter and antimatter – and more. Q: Which research… Read More ›
Image of the week: double-photo ionization
This week’s Image of the Week is taken from a recent JPhysB paper in which theoretical methods are used to study the photo-double ionization of carbon dioxide. O Alwan et al determine the multiply differential cross section of a CO2… Read More ›
Image of the week: Alice and Bob – dead or alive?
In this week’s Image of the Week, Alice and Bob take part in a quantum duel.
Lars Bojer Madsen: strong-field and attosecond physics
We talk to Professor Lars Bojer Madsen about where attosecond physics might go in the future, who inspired him to become a scientist and why some of the hottest topics in AMO physics are actually the coldest.
Light bite: 100s science video & the IYL
This week we bring you a video feature on recent research into new optical fibres and take the opportunity to showcase some top research from across the JPhys series on light and optical technology as part of the International Year of Light. Lasers, invisibility cloaks, plasmas, nanophotonics and more

Image of the week: light bullets
The Image of the week today comes from a recent JPhysB paper on Airy-Bessel light bullets.
JPhysB at ICPEAC XXIX
From 21-25 July 2015 I was in the stunning, albeit very hot, city of Toledo (Spain) to attend ICPEAC XXIX a conference, which brings many of our Authors, Referees and Board members together. Many of you will know that, historically,… Read More ›
