All of a sudden the long debate is over. Gamma‐ray bursters really do live halfway across the cosmos. Now we know that they are, for brief moments, the most luminous objects in the universe.

We tell ourselves that biologists need physicists and that biological materials present a big opportunity for physics, but then physicists and biologists don't train themselves to work together and learn from each other.

Physics Today 50 (7), 30–34 (1997); https://doi.org/10.1063/1.881845

Atoms moving in an accelerating optical lattice exhibit quantum behavior such as Bloch oscillations, Wannier‐Stark ladders and tunneling—phenomena usually associated with electrons in a crystalline solid.

Physics Today 50 (7), 36–42 (1997); https://doi.org/10.1063/1.881806

One can make opaque resonant transitions transparent to laser radiation, often with most of the atoms remaining in the ground state.
