In 1983, a Soviet computer detected a U.S. nuclear missile launch. Officer Stanislav Petrov had minutes to decide whether the warning was real. He trusted his judgment, avoiding a potential nuclear disaster. Learn what caused the false alarm in #APSNews: https://go.aps.org/4dg9hj9

The model features a central component from which six rectangular panels extend. At right, a diagram showing the trajectory of the highly eccentric Molniya orbit.

International students are a vital part of the U.S. physics community. But shifting immigration and research policies are making it harder for them to plan their education and careers.

Two people are placing pins on a large, colorful map of the world. One person is focusing on a specific area of the map. They are both wearing coats and holding what appear to be travel documents or guides. The setting looks like a public event or a museum.A group of individuals stand in front of a large map backdrop with the APS logo. The map highlights a welcoming global community of APS members, with the text "Where is your home?" People are engaged in conversation and examining the map, some carrying backpacks.

For international physics students, proposed visa rules could mean added pressure to finish a Ph.D. on a shorter timeline.

#APSNews spoke with members of the physics community about what the changes could mean: https://go.aps.org/4yNjtba

A government webpage about student visas pulled up on a phone or tablet. The device is sitting on a keyboard that can be seen in the background.

This fall, hundreds of classrooms got hand boilers, infrared thermometers, and volcanic rocks that eat carbon dioxide. It's not a chemistry set, it's this year's free PhysicsQuest kit for teaching climate physics. Read how it came together in #APSNews: https://go.aps.org/4xLt4iA

Teachers gather at a table and try out experiments from the PhysicsQuest kit. Three teachers sit at a desk; one teacher uses a device to measure the temperature of his palm while two other teachers look on.
