Texas bound

Suitcase packed, I am now on the way to San Antonio for the 2015 American Physical Society (APS) meeting, which begins on Monday.2015 APS March meeting logo

More than 9000 physicists will be heading to Texas for one of the biggest physics meetings of the year.

Having just put the finishing touches to my schedule for the five-day conference, we should be set to hear exciting results on mechanically programmable materials, the first metamaterial superconductor and the latest in flexible, stretchable electronics.

Yet there is also a more fun side to the conference with delegates also learning about modelling zombie outbreaks as well as participating in the famous APS physics sing-along.

So keep tabs on physicsworld.com for all the latest from the 2015 APS meeting.

    I would heartily recommend the physics sing-along to anyone at the March Meeting. It is a joyous and irony-free celebration of physics in song…and there is free beer if you need a bit of Dutch courage before you join in.

    You will see that there is fun to be
    In the swing back and forh of you and she,
    You will feel the joyous celebration
    Of fresh physics gushing forth for free.
