It has been quite a year, but our department has re- mained strong and devoted to both our students and our research programs. We’ve had a newsletter for a number of years, but this year we decided to spruce it up a bit and give all these hardworking faculty, staff, and students a nice record of the past year’s accom- plishements. Going foward, we will be releasing the newsletter in the fall of each year. So, enjoy this issue, and look forward to another in a few months.

  • Annotated Bibliography: Women in Physics, Astronomy, and Related Disciplines
    Annotated Bibliography: Women in Physics, Astronomy, and Related Disciplines Abir Am, Pnina and Dorinda Outram, eds. Uneasy Careers and Intimate Lives: Women in Science, 1787-1979. New Brunswick, NJ: Rutgers University Press, 1987. Abir Am and Outram’s volume includes a collection of essays about women in science that highlight the intersection of personal and professional spheres. All of the articles argue that the careers of women scientists are influenced by their family lives and that their family lives are impacted because of their scientific careers. This text is significant in two ways: first, it is one of the earliest examples of scholarship that moves beyond the recovering women in science, but placing them in the context of their home and work environments. Second, it suggests that historians of science can no longer ignore the private lives of their historical subjects. This volume contains four articles relating to women in physics and astronomy: Marilyn Bailey Ogilvie’s “Marital Collaboration: An Approach to Science” (pages 104-125), Sally Gregory Kohlstedt’s “Maria Mitchell and the Advancement of Women in Science” (pages 129-146), Helena M. Pycior’s “Marie Curie’s ‘Anti-Natural Path’: Time Only for Science and Family” (pages 191-215), and Peggy Kidwell’s “Cecelia Payne-Gaposchkin: Astronomy in the Family” (pages 216-238). As a unit, the articles would constitute and interesting lesson on personal and professional influences. Individually, the articles could be incorporated into lessons on a single scientist, offering a new perspective on their activities at work and at home. It complements Pycior, Slack, and Abir Am’s Creative Couples in the Sciences and Lykknes, Opitz, and Van Tiggelen’s For Better of For Worse: Collaborative Couples in the Sciences, which also look at the intersection of the personal and professional.

Aranson et al, Physical Review Letters 84, 3306 (2000); CDMS; RHIC and Brookhaven National Laboratory; Phys. Rev. Lett. 87, 088302 (2001); A. Zehl, M. Yoshida, and D.T. Colbert; Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory; MIT; NASA Glenn Reseach Center. At the start of the year, the Executive Branch of the federal government was in the midst of transition. However, while the government almost appeared to slow to a halt during the transition, news of exciting physics research results continued unabated. During the APS March Meeting in Seattle, a marathon session was held on the new superconductor, magnesium diboride, while at the April Meeting in Washington, DC, excitement was high as the first reports of new precision measurements of the cosmic microwave background strongly supported the idea of an early inflationary universe. Other lead stories included the Sudbury Neutrino Observatory (SNO) results confirming solar neutrino oscillations, the establishment of CP violation in B-meson decay, and the demonstration of bringing pulses of light to a standstill in such a way that all of the information that they contain is stored in atomic excitations and later recoverable. Heroic efforts by the APS Editorial Office staff throughout the year allowed the completion of the Physical Review On-line Archive, PROLA, so that every paper that APS has ever published is now on-line and readily accessible. Within PROLA, each paper is linked to previous papers to which it refers and also to subsequent papers that cite it.

  • Physics in Your Future” Introduces Physics and Careers in Physics to Young People, Their Parents, Teachers and Advisors
    Cover photos by (clockwise) Neil Schneider, NASA, Argonne National Lab, Angela Seckinger, Neil Schneider, John T. Consoli and R John T. Neil Schneider, Angela Seckinger, National Lab, Argonne NASA, Cover photos by (clockwise) Neil Schneider, ay Manning Choosing a career is a big decision. Most people work as long as 50 years. It’s very important to find work that you’ll enjoy. You’ll have a great selection of rewarding careers to choose from if you study math and science. This booklet Photo by NASA describes some of your possibilities. PHYSICS IS THE BASIS OF SCIENCE AND TECHNOLOGY It deals with how and why matter and energy act as they do. The laws of physics precisely describe force and motion, gravity, electricity, magnetism, sound, light and heat. They help you understand the physical world and develop products that meet human needs. Mastering physics is challenging. You must work with other people as well as alone. You learn how to solve problems, observe things carefully, make measure- ments and keep accurate records. You can use these valuable skills the rest of your life. They open doors to many good jobs. Physicists ask questions about the physical world and try to find exact answers. They are creative and persistent. Some do basic research. Their aim is to increase our knowledge of the universe. Others do applied research. They use basic knowledge to solve human problems such as food and energy supply, environmental protection, transportation, communication and defense. Over 40,000 physicists work in industry, educational institutions, government, and medical centers today.

  • Distinguished Lecture Series in Physics and Astronomy Making an Impact
    University of South Carolina Department of Physics and Astronomy 2018 regularly exceeds 200 people, and for several lectures, we have had standing room only in the 500-seat performance hall located in the Darla Moore School of Business. In addition to presenting a public lecture, every visiting speaker is scheduled for a range of informal meetings or lunches with students, faculty, and researchers. Over the past year, we were treated to an especially distinguished slate of scholars. The president of the American Physical Society at the time, Dr. Laura Greene, explained the bizarre nature of high- temperature superconductivity. Dr. Greene is the Chief Scientist at the National High Magnetic Field Laboratory in Tallahassee, Florida and is also the Francis Eppes Professor of Physics at Florida State University. She illuminated the audience with a review of superconductivity and the behavior of this unconventional superconductivity. Next, the recipient of the 2014 Nobel Prize in chemistry, Dr. William E. Moerner, described the promise and challenges of super resolution microscopy. Dr. Moerner is the Harry S. Mosher Professor of Chemistry and a Professor of Applied Physics at Stanford University. He revealed how super resolution microscopy enabled single molecule imaging and what discoveries it may unveil in the future. 2017 Nobel laureate Dr. Barry Barish describes the unique signatures of the general Only four months after being awarded the 2017 Nobel Prize in theory of relativity contained in the first gravitational waves that were detected by physics, Dr. Barry Barish presented evidence for the first detection of Advanced LIGO in 2015. gravitational waves caused by merging black holes.
