A tiny vortex has been set spinning in a coherent collection of ultracold atoms. And there's a hint of frictionless flow. Such experiments should open the door to further studies of superfluid properties.

Physics Today 52 (11), 19–21 (1999); https://doi.org/10.1063/1.882880

A latter‐day Eötvös experiment preserves the sanctity of general relativity, at least for the moment.

The setting: A social gathering. People of diverse backgrounds. Many separate animated conversations. You, the scientist, milling about smartly, are introduced to someone new. Pleased to meet you. Likewise. Pleasantries ensue, including the inevitable, What do you do? I'm a (fill in the blank with your scientific specialty). Oh, how interesting.

Physics Today 52 (11), 24–29 (1999); https://doi.org/10.1063/1.882727

Relying on a variety of cues, including intensity, timing, and spectrum, our brains recreate a three‐dimensional image of the acoustic landscape from the sounds we hear.

Physics Today 52 (11), 30–36 (1999); https://doi.org/10.1063/1.882728

With a second‐order differential equation and a computer, the gastro‐physicist can challenge much of the conventional wisdom about how to grill a steak to perfection.

Physics Today 52 (11), 37–41 (1999); https://doi.org/10.1063/1.882882

Advances made in understanding the properties and behavior of composite materials are now powering the exploitation of their immense potential.

Physics Today 52 (11), 42–47 (1999); https://doi.org/10.1063/1.882883

The new technology is bringing images of unprecedented clarity into our homes by exploiting the existing bandwidth and pushing signal‐to‐noise ratios almost to their theoretical limits.

Physics Today 52 (11), 48–52 (1999); https://doi.org/10.1063/1.882884

The behavior of tacky materials is difficult to quantify, involving as it does such dynamic phenomena as meniscus instability, cavitation and the formation of filaments.
