Industrial Physicist Feb/Mar 2003 Patrick Young	Industry/Academia Training physicists for industry: For physicists, jobs in industry outnumber those in academia. As a consequence, and frequently as a preference, those with bachelor's degrees often seek an alternative to the physics Ph.D., some in a different discipline.
Industrial Physicist Feb/Mar 2003 Patrick Young	Forum: Small focus brings big rewards Focusing on small things in innovative ways figured prominently in earning high honors for 10 researchers, the winners of six prized awards in physics.
Industrial Physicist Feb/Mar 2003	Letters Nuclear Insecurity... It ain't necessarily so... Research fraud... Supermagnets... etc.
Technology Research News March 12, 2003 Eric Smalley	Quantum chips advance Researchers have entangled a pair of electronic qubits in an integrated circuit. The work is a milestone on the road to chip-based, mind-bogglingly fast quantum computers.
Popular Mechanics March 2003 Paul Eisenstein	World's Most Powerful Magnet The "magnetar," or magnetic neutron star known as Soft Gamma Repeater 1806-20, is the most powerful known magnetic object in the universe. While it's unlikely anything man-made will ever come close to the power of a magnetar, it's not for lack of trying.
Technology Research News February 26, 2003 Eric Smalley	Quantum computing catches the bus National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) researchers have tapped an aspect of classical computers and a pair of weird particle traits to allow distant particles, or qubits, to communicate as though they were in contact.
Technology Research News February 26, 2003	Lasers drive tiny toolset Researchers from Nagoya University in Japan have used light to drive a pair of resin nano tweezers and a nano needle.
Technology Research News February 12, 2003 Eric Smalley	Teleportation goes the distance Teleportation makes it possible to transmit the quantum states, or structural information, of photons from one place to another. And making photons from one location materialize at another without traveling the distance between opens the way for sending messages long distances.
Wired February 2003 Oliver Morton	The Neutrino Has Landed Using the moon as a supercollider
Wired February 2003 Oliver Morton	Deep Impact It came, it seems, from outer space -- and it did so quickly. Mysterious objects from outer space are tearing their way through Earth -- and shaking up the physics world.
