American Physical Society March 2003 meeting.

We were busy at the APS March meeting in Austin... lots of foreign journalists present, many of whom have written up research presented at the meeting. As usual, the US press is not much interested in covering science, with some exceptions such as the Dallas Morning News which had three reporters present.

Get a taste of the stories from our press information:
Research presented
Press conferences

And have a look at some of the more in-depth stories on the web:

Superheroes make physics fun (Nature Science Update)

Better breast cancer screens? (Nature Science Update)

Green plans for tiny tech (Nature Science Update)

Why Life Is a Four-Letter Word (ScienceNOW)

How Cool Is That? (ScienceNOW)

Left-handed materials offer new angle for technology (Dallas Morning News)

Language of life may be spelled out with RNA (Dallas Morning News)

Bending light backwards (New Scientist - print only)

Chill out with the magnetic refrigerator (New Scientist - print only)

Optical tweezers pluck out cancer cells (New Scientist - print only)
