In the 16 years since the totally unanlicipated discovery of the first of the fractional quantum Hall states, these intriguing quantum liquids have spawned a thriving cottage industry for theorists and experimenters.

Physics Today 51 (12), 20–22 (1998); https://doi.org/10.1063/1.882481

Quantum mechanics tells you how to solve molecular structure, in principle. Kohn and Pople, in different ways, made it possible in practice.

Physics Today 51 (12), 22–23 (1998); https://doi.org/10.1063/1.882482

Researchers have taken a closer look at some funny structure noted years ago in the resistivity of a quantum Hall sample at low magnetic fields. The prevailing explanation for what they see is that the electrons are forming charge density waves.
