We don't know whether the enigmatic gamma‐ray bursters are near or very far away. But now, at long last, we're beginning to accumulate vital clues at other wavelengths.

Physics Today 50 (6), 18–19 (1997); https://doi.org/10.1063/1.881762

The noise can be squeezed out of a light signal until it falls considerably below the quantum, or shot, limit. Now researchers are trying to use a similar trick to reduce the noise associated with phonons.

In 50 years of producing electrical power and weapons from nuclear fuel, the US has accumulated millions of cubic meters and tens of billions of curies of radioactive waste.

Physics Today 50 (6), 32–39 (1997); https://doi.org/10.1063/1.881764

Public safety and billions of taxpayer dollars are at stake in the efforts to solve formidable technical problems associated with the disposal of spent nuclear fuel and defense waste.

Physics Today 50 (6), 41–46 (1997); https://doi.org/10.1063/1.881765

When we bury long‐lived nuclear wastes in geologic repositories, we have to worry about what may happen ten thousand—or even a million—years in the future.

Physics Today 50 (6), 48–54 (1997); https://doi.org/10.1063/1.881766

Having failed to achieve geologic disposal, the US should shift to a strategy of ongoing management and research.

Physics Today 50 (6), 56–62 (1997); https://doi.org/10.1063/1.881779

Numerous countries around the world are tackling the task of managing nuclear waste. By considering their approaches, we gain a broader perspective on the US program.
