Physics Catalogue 2010
Browse the new Physics Catalogue, presented in a handy pageturning format.
Physics of Life Reviews has been selected to be indexed and included in the National Library of Medicine's MEDLINE database. Citations from the articles indexed, the indexing terms and the English abstracts printed in the journals will be included and searchable using PubMed.
In the 7th volume of Physics of Life Reviews we change the journal format to Open Peer Commentary. Most reviews will be follwed by 1-page comments discussing the review. Comments will be followed by a 2–3-page Author rebuttal.
The proceedings of the LANE 2010 will be published in Elsevier's Physics Procedia.
This e-online platform, launched in 2008, focuses solely on the publication of high quality conference proceedings. By allowing conference delegates to publish their papers in a dedicated online issue on Science Direct, which is then made freely available throughout the world, Physics Procedia facilitates a fast dissemination.

2008 Impact Factor News
Elsevier Physics journals have again gone from strength to strength with the release of the 2008 Impact Factors.
The 2009 Senior Prize for Applied Aspects of Quantum Electronics and Optics is awarded to Thomas Ebbesen, Professor at the University of Strasbourg in France, and Director of ISIS, a multidisciplinary research institute funded both by the University and the French CNRS. Thomas Ebbesen is also a Senior Member of the Institut Universitaire de France. Ebbesen has carried out research into a range of topics in physics and chemistry, including novel carbon materials and superconductivity. The Quantum Electronics and Optics Prize is awarded for his work carried out since the early 1990s into the novel optical properties of nanostructured metals and in particular for his discovery of how light can be efficently transmitted through subwavelength holes. His pioneering experiments have greatly contributed to the emergence of the field of surface plasmon photonics. Ebbesen’s work is at the interface of nanoscience and photonics, and impacts on numerous strategic technologies such as opto-electronics, optical communications and sensing.

Seventh International Conference on Inorganic Materials
Organised by Elsevier, the Seventh International Conference on Inorganic Materials is the latest in a series of interdisciplinary conferences devoted to all aspects of inorganic materials research. Following on from the success of previous events in the series, the meeting will provide an opportunity to highlight recent developments and to identify emerging and future areas of growth in this exciting field.
From 2009, Nano Today will be known as Nano Today: An International Rapid Reviews Journal and will move to a traditional journal format to enable us to bring the research community cutting-edge, peer-refereed reviews covering the latest research in important and novel interdisciplinary areas.
We are delighted that Nano Today received its first Impact factor of 5.929 in 2008.
