New Physics Blogs

A couple of new-to-me but good physics blogs to point out this week:

All That Matters by Joerg Heber. This looks like it will be updated weekly-ish, and has a couple of good entries, including a nice write-up of an ultrafast laser experiment that I had flagged to write about before I got distracted by crazy people and lab porn this week.

The Dayside by charles Day of Physics Today. This has roughly daily updates, on a wide range of stuff.

Both of these cover physics beyond the default particle-physics-and-cosmology that you can find in dozens of places, and Day even has a post titled Why I Like Condensed Matter Physics. They're both good additions to your RSS reader.

Topping the looooong list of things I would give a full ResearchBlogging write-up if I had time is this new paper on a ultra-cold atom realization of "Dirac Monopoles". This is really cool stuff, but there are a lot of intricacies that I don't fully understand, so writing it up isn't a simple…
I got some interesting comments on last week's post about the science blogging bubble, and there were two in particular I wanted to highlight. Bee wrote (among other things): But what I think are further obstacle to blogging is the inappropriateness of the medium to science. E.g. blogs put by…
Over at Science After Sunclipse, Blake has a very long post about the limitations of science blogs. Brian at Laelaps responds, and Tom at Swans On Tea agrees. You might be wondering whether I have an opinion on this. Since I'm going to be talking about it at a workshop in September (first talk, no…
Every day, a handful of physics news items pass through my RSS feeds, and every few days, one of them looks interesting enough that I check the little box to keep it unread, so I can comment on it later (I don't blog from work if I can avoid it). Of course, most of the time, I don't get around to…

Thanks so much for the recommendation, Chad! Indeed, I try to update the blog once or twice a week. I hope I can continue to write posts you find interesting
