Bloembergen, Nicolaas; Yablonovitch, Eli – Physics Today, 1978
Reviews the areas of laser chemistry, photochemistry, infrared lasers, and laser induced molecular reactions. (SL)
Descriptors: Atomic Theory, Chemical Reactions, Chemistry, Lasers

Ruffini, Remo; Wheeler, John A. – Physics Today, 1971
discusses the cosmology theory of a black hole, a region where an object loses its identity, but mass, charge, and momentum are conserved. Include are three possible formation processes, theorized properties, and three way they might eventually be detected. (DS)
Descriptors: Astronomy, College Science, Energy, Matter

Hirsch, Jorge E.; Scalapino, Douglas J. – Physics Today, 1983
Discusses ways computers are being used in condensed-matter physics by experimenters and theorists. Experimenters use them to control experiments and to gather and analyze data. Theorists use them for detailed predictions based on realistic models and for studies on systems not realizable in practice. (JN)
Descriptors: College Science, Computer Oriented Programs, Data Analysis, Higher Education

Pines, David – Physics Today, 1981
Discusses elementary excitations and their role in condensed matter physics, focusing on quantum plasma, helium liquids, and superconductors. Considers research primarily conducted in the 1950s and concludes with a brief survey of some closely related further developments. (Author/JN)
Descriptors: College Science, Energy, Fluid Mechanics, Higher Education

Geballe, Theodore H. – Physics Today, 1981
Reviews the development of solid-state physics. Topics include phase transitions, materials science, superconductivity, and superfluidity. (JN)
