2008 Impact Factor News
Elsevier Physics journals have again gone from strength to strength with the release of the 2008 Impact Factors.
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.

Cryogenics Best Paper Award
Congratulations to S. Fuzier and S. van Sciver on achieving the Cryogenics Best Paper Award 2008 for their paper 'Experimental measurements and modeling of transient heat transfer in forced flow of He II at high velocities. Read more
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.
