Funding gap should be bridged to help scientists in developing countries
The Department for International Development (DfID) could help scientists in developing countries by offering small grants to help enhance already successful projects. Speaking at the Science and Technology Committee’s Evidence session on Science and international development earlier today, Dr Beth Taylor, Director of Communications at the Institute of Physics (IOP), outlined IOP’s approach to supporting [...]

In February’s edition of Physics World…The future of Fermilab
In this month’s Physics World, reviews and careers editor, Margaret Harris, visits the Fermi National Accelerator Laboratory (Fermilab) to explore what future projects are in the pipeline now that the lab’s Tevatron particle accelerator has closed for good. After more than 25 years of groundbreaking discoveries, the Tevatron accelerator has finally surrendered to the mighty [...]
Free Physics World webinar: Fluid structure interaction simulation with COMSOL
Fluid structure interaction (or FSI) is one of the classic multiphysics couplings in science and engineering. It can be defined as the interaction between a deformable, or moving, structure and a surrounding, or internal, fluid flow. Familiar examples involving this interaction are wing flutter, building sway, valve chatter and, of course, the Tacoma Narrows Bridge [...]
