Web Resources

DC Physics

The homepage offers links to simulations, newsletters, books, employment opportunities, humor, journals, references, software, online texts, and tutorials.

Physics Central

This site includes weekly updates on advances in physics, descriptions of new research, and brief biographies of people engaged in research and teaching.

The Elegant Universe

This site is produced for PBS/Nova Science and reflects topics discussed in their programming. The site is divided into three major sections: Articles and Interviews, Slide Shows and Interactives, and Resources; each area focuses on current topics of interest in the field.

Physics 2000

This site is very clearly organized and color coded under three main headings: Physics 2000, Einstein's Legacy, and The Atomic Lab; the latter includes striking and technically sophisticated demonstrations of hot, new results on Bose-Einstein condensations. Other topics are x-rays and CAT, electromagnetic waves, quantum atoms, microwave ovens, lasers, television and laptop computer screens, and interference experiments.
