Industrial Physicist Wippich & Dessau	Tunable Lasers and Fiber-Bragg-Grating Sensors Today, the tunable laser is being tested in many industrial applications, including optical remote sensing, where laser-based systems can provide improved performance over electronic means of measuring strain, temperature, and pressure.
Science News May 24, 2003 Ivars Peterson	Deciphering the Wrinkles of Crumpled Sheets Researchers study the energy that goes into crumpling paper.
Technology Research News May 21, 2003	Big qubits linked over distance Researchers working on quantum computing managed to entangle a pair of large quantum bits that were spaced nearly a millimeter apart.
Technology Research News April 23, 2003	Degree of difference sorts data Researchers from the Institute of Applied Physics in Spain have found an efficient way to sort inconsistent sets of data into groups that share some similarity.
Technology Research News April 9, 2003 Eric Smalley	Fiber loop makes quantum memory A relatively simple device that sends individual photons cycling through a fiber-optic loop could provide the memory needed to make ultra powerful computers that use the quantum states of light as bits.
Technology Research News April 9, 2003	Liquid crystals go 3D Researchers from Sheffield University in England and the University of Pennsylvania have unlocked some of the secrets of liquid crystals, materials that self-assemble into lattices of geometric shapes that are neither solid nor liquid, but somewhere between.
Industrial Physicist Apr/May 2003 Jennifer Oullette	Switching from physics to biology Physicists in transition help shape biological theory.
Industrial Physicist Apr/May 2003 Raymond Y. Chu	Industry salaries still rising The median salary for Ph.D. physicists working in industry was $100,000 in 2002 -- up 11% from $90,200 in 2000 and easily beating an inflation rate of 5.9%.
Industrial Physicist Apr/May 2003 Patrick Young	Salute to new Fellows Thirteen members of the Forum on Industrial and Applied Physics were elected Fellows of the American Physical Society, an honor bestowed each year by the society on a select group of its members from industry, academia, and government.
Industrial Physicist Feb/Mar 2003 Jennifer Oullette	Quantum dots for sale Artificial atoms illluminate biotechnology and other fields
