I round up the LabTalks we published last month.
DAMOP 2015, my post conference report
DAMOP 2015 has drawn to a close, and I have been reflecting on what has made this conference once again so special and enjoyable to attend. DAMOP is remarkable on many levels, but first and foremost, it has a very… Read More ›
Image of the week – electron spectrum
Lasers can be used to induce the emission of electrons from ions through a process called photodetachment. Particularly interesting to those working in strong field atomic physics is photodetachment in negative ions by femtosecond laser pulses. In a recent paper… Read More ›
JPhysB Special Issue on Spectroscopy of Highly Charged Ions
JPhysB has just published its newest Special Issue, on the Spectroscopy of Highly Charged Ions
Image of the week: electrons in buckyballs
Carbon is well known for being found in many forms, from diamond to graphene and much more. Buckminsterfullerene – football-like molecules made of 60 carbon atoms – is of great interest to physicists and chemists working in a number of… Read More ›
JPhysB Review Roundup
A roundup of the Topical Reviews and Tutorials JPhysB has published so far this year.
New JPhysB Editorial Board Member: Dr Anna Sanpera
This year we welcome to the Editorial Board a number of new Board Members. In the first of several interviews with our new members, I talk to Dr Anna Sanpera.
Image of the week: electrodes for trapping
It’s not often a figure in a paper both covers real science and would look great on a pair of curtains. This week’s Image of the week is a simulation of a possible arrangement of electrodes, which could be used… Read More ›
Special Issue on Filamentation
Last week JPhysB published a Special Issue on the subject of Filamentation. In their editorial Guest Editors Ruxin Li, Howard Milchberg and Andre Mysyrowicz explain: Twenty years after its first observation in air, the filamentation of ultrashort optical pulses remains… Read More ›
Willkommen in Heidelberg
3 days down and the Spring Meeting of the DPG AMOP group is in full swing here in Heidelberg. The program is excellent and the beautiful weather is a bonus. I have spent much of my time on the IOP… Read More ›

JPhysB at DPG Heidelberg 2015
Next week I will be attending the DPG Spring Meeting in Heidelberg on behalf of JPhysB. As well as attending talks I will be manning the IOP Publishing stand in the literature and equipment exhibition from Tuesday to Thursday, so… Read More ›
Image of the week: 09/03/15
Trapping and cooling molecules is a hot topic of research with applications in both chemistry and physics, spanning from testing fundamental theories to quantum computing, and one method for trapping atoms and molecules is via microwave cavity. This week’s Image… Read More ›
