Il Nuovo Saggiatore
Il bollettino della Società Italiana di Fisica, Il Nuovo Saggiatore, è un notiziario di informazione sulle attività societarie e di interesse per la comunità dei fisici (inviato gratuitamente ai Soci SIF in regola e ad accesso libero online). Pubblica inoltre articoli scientifici sui più recenti risultati e scoperte ottenuti in Italia e all'estero, nonché notizie dal mondo industriale sulle applicazioni in Fisica.

È online l'ultimo numero: Il Nuovo Saggiatore Vol. 29, anno 2013, N. 5-6

In questo numero potrete trovare, tra l'altro, il testo integrale degli interventi alla Cerimonia Inaugurale del 99° Congresso Nazionale della SIF svoltosi a Trieste nel mese di settembre 2013.

La Rivista del Nuovo Cimento - Vol. 36, N. 12, 2013
Optical atomic clocks
N. Poli, C. W. Oates, P. Gill, G. M. Tino

In the last ten years extraordinary results in time and frequency metrology have been demonstrated. Frequency-stabilization techniques for continuous-wave lasers and femtosecond optical frequency combs have enabled a rapid development of frequency standards based on optical transitions in ultra-cold neutral atoms and trapped ions. As a result, today's best performing atomic clocks tick at an optical rate and allow scientists to perform high-resolution measurements with a precision approaching a few parts in 10¹⁸.

EPJ Plus
EPJ Plus is a peer-reviewed electronic only section of the European Physical Journal (EPJ) series and was launched in 2011 as a continuation of Il Nuovo Cimento B (NCB). The aims of the journal are to distribute and archive all relevant material required to document, assess, and reconstruct in detail the body of knowledge in Physics. The scope encompasses a broad landscape of fields and disciplines in the physical and related sciences - such as covered by the topical EPJ journals - with the explicit addition of geophysics, astrophysics, general relativity and cosmology, mathematical and quantum physics, classical and fluid mechanics - which were covered by NCB -, as well as physics techniques applied to any other topics, including energy, environment and cultural heritage.
