* Like Sand Through An Hourglass
University physicists have found a way to measure the forces exerted as granular particles switch from a static to a flowing condition. The work, reported in the June 23 Nature, may help to explain how glasses differ from liquids at the atomic level:

* Fresh Thinking from First-Rate Faculty
Killer bacteria, democracy's fate in the 21st century, theoretical cosmology, the limits of globalization. How about Renaissance demonology, the Kamasutra, the meaning of Martin Luther? Or free speech in wartime, the composition of the U.S. Supreme Court, race after 9/11, biodefense? Chicago faculty have ideas on these and other topics, and they're eager to share.
