---------- Forwarded message ---------- From: Physics World <[email protected]> Date: Thu, Oct 8, 2009 at 8:21 AM Subject: Your free sample copy of Physics World October 2009 To: [email protected] As a member of physicsworld.com, you might be interested in a free sample copy of the October 2009 issue of Physics World. The issue focuses on the "energy puzzle" - the scientific, technical and political issues facing those dealing with energy and climate change. Download your free copy: http://physicsworld.com/cws/download/oct2009 The issue includes: *Commentary from physicist and former BP chief executive Lord Browne, who offers four key messages for politicians. *Joseph Romm from the US think tank Center for American Progress says that scientists must do much more to warn the world of the dangers of climate change. *US climate scientist Gavin Schmidt describes progress in climate modelling, arguing that such models have to be more useful to politicians. We also look at the materials science challenges in the quest for clean, long-lasting and sustainable energy, examine what nanotechnology can do to transform the energy industry, and look at one physicist's ambitious scheme for the "SuperGrid" - a network of underground pipes carrying nuclear-power-produced hydrogen that is both a fuel and a coolant for superconducting electricity-carrying cables.
