A quick and belated item this week is the letter by Jesson et al., from Australia on new approach to extract 3D information from what is originally a 2D PEEM images [Phys. Rev. Lett. 99, 016103 (2007), "Imaging Surface Topography Using Lloyd's Mirror in Photoemission Electron Microscopy"]
There is also this nice tutorial on PEEM at ALS website.
Another (non-research) item is the NY Times article on Eric Mazur’s teaching methods and memorizing/”cranking out” algebra vs. understanding of physical concepts. It’s a fascinating read.
