In June’s Physics World: from seawater to fresh water with a nanotechnology filter
In this month’s Physics World, Jason Reese, Weir Professor of Thermodynamics and Fluid Mechanics at the University of Strathclyde, describes the role that carbon nanotubes (CNTs) could play in the desalination of water, providing a possible solution to the problem of the world’s ever-growing population demanding more and more fresh drinking water. Global population projections [...]
In May’s issue of Physics World: There’s more to implants than meets the eye
In this month’s Physics World, Richard Taylor, professor of physics, psychology and art at the University of Oregon, warns that artificial retinal implants – a technology fast becoming a reality – must adapt to the unique features of the human eye in order to become an effective treatment. The gap between digital camera technology and [...]
In April’s issue of Physics World: Power cables light the future path of superconductivity
One hundred years ago this month, superconductivity was discovered in the lab of Dutch physicist Heike Kamerlingh Onnes. Since then many more materials have shown to be superconducting, providing new applications and creating a new realm of physics. In honour of this discovery, the April issue of Physics World is dedicated to the discovery and [...]
In February’s issue of Physics World: The first mission to Mercury
