Nobel Prize to 't Hooft and Veltman for Putting Electroweak Theory on Firmer Foundation
This year's laureates provided constraints to the correct models for both the electroweak and the strong interactions
Nobel Prize Goes to Zewail for Developing Femtochemistry
Femtosecond pulsed lasers have made it possible to catch molecules in the bonding act.
A New Way to Guide Light in Optical Fibers
A novel form of fiber optics, featuring a hollow core rather than one made of glass, holds promise for communications systems or other applications.

Nanoscale Fluctuations at Solid Surfaces
Before you build things in the nanoworld, you'd better make sure you know how atomic fluctuations affect your structure's size and shape.
Experimental Studies of Bose–Einstein Condensation
Since first being produced four years ago, Bose–Einstein condensates of dilute gases have provided a rich playground for exploring atomic, quantum, and many‐body physics.
The Theory of Bose–Einstein Condensation of Dilute Gases
Bose–Einstein condensates are an ideal testing ground for quantum field theory in real time and at finite temperatures—basic topics of great importance for diverse physical systems.
