Quantum mechanics allows us only one incomplete glimpse of a wavefunction, but if systems can be identically prepared over and over, quantum equivalents of shadows and mirrors can provide the full picture -- Dietrich Leibfried, Tilman Pfau and Christopher Monroe
Recent observations of Li, Be and B abundances in halo stars
formed in the early Galaxy shed new light on the source of cosmic
rays, suggesting acceleration from the ejecta of supernovae -- Reuven Ramaty, Benzion
Kozlovsky and Richard Lingenfelter

The paradoxes of quantum theory can be resolved in a surprisingly simple way: by insisting that particles always have positions and that they move in a manner naturally suggested by Schrödinger's equation -- Sheldon Goldstein
Back to basics at ultrahigh temperatures -- Frank Wilczek
Scanning microscopes probe local details of the quantum Hall state. Researchers are finding ways to peer tens of nanometers below the surface of an insulator to image some properties of two-dimensional electron gases.
Energy budget of deep-focus earthquakes suggests they may be slip-sliding away. The mystery of what initiates earthquakes in Earth's mantle is as deep as ever, but the energetics of these events may help provide answers.
