NC Austria would like to host the ICPS on 2010. Their bid can be seen on their bid website.
Month: July 2008
New jIAPS!
Issue 2-2008 of the journal of the International Association of Physics Students has been released into the wilds of the internet. This issue features an interview with noted astronomer Sir Patrick Moore, a series of connected features looking into the strange world of quantum physics and gravitation, news of São Paulo’s own private ozone layer, and much more.
Like last time, in addition to hosting the journal in pdf format here, we have also put it up on Issuu. Issuu is designed to make reading magazine-type material on the internet easier and quicker. For a start jIAPS looks just like it would on paper: you can flick through the pages, and zoom as needed.
We like it, and we hope that you do too.
The IAPS/MAFIHE summer school on nanophysics took place in Gyenesdiás from 7th-14th July. 30 students attended.
Lectures were given in English by well known Hungarian scientists, coming from the universities in Hungary and the Central Research Institute of Physics. Participants had the opportunity to visit the city and Festetics mansion of Keszthely, go hiking in the mountains around, relax on the beach and visit the world famous thermal lake Héviz.
Photographs are available here, it seems a good time was had by all.
The webpage and poster for the summer school contain more information.
