In the March 2015 Issue
Particle Physics and the Cosmic Microwave Background
Temperature and polarization variations across the microwave sky include the fingerprints of quantum fluctuations in the early universe. They may soon reveal physics at unprecedented energy scales. — John E. Carlstrom, Thomas M. Crawford, and Lloyd Knox
The Physical Basis of Protein Misfolding Disorders
Investigations of the fundamental physical principles underlying Alzheimer's and Parkinson's diseases are providing new insights into their origins and are suggesting rational strategies through which to combat their onset and progression. — Tuomas P. J. Knowles, Michele Vendruscolo, and Christopher M. Dobson
Atomic Spins on Surfaces
When adapted to cryogenic temperatures and high magnetic fields, a scanning tunneling microscope can assemble and probe spin chains, logic gates, and other configurations of magnetic atoms. — Andreas Heinrich
