Sanborn is currently most famous for a piece, pictured here, that sits near the entrance to the CIA headquarters in Langley, Virginia. Using techniques taught to him by a former CIA spook, Sanborn in 1990 created the undulating copper screen with its 1,800 encrypted characters.

This is because the April meeting, this year, is in February. Nice one. Normally, February wouldn’t be so bad in Washington. This year was different. For arriving physicists who have somehow ignored the news over the last week, Washington has been hit by two blizzards within a single week. First was Snowpocalypse (aka Snowmageddon), followed up four days later by Snoverkill. But everyone seems to be cozy here in the Mariott Woodley Park hotel, and attendance isn’t down too much. I hope to check in through the President’s Day weekend with newsy bits and blurbs.  <a href="https://blogs.nature.com/inthefield/2010/02/aps_2010_american_physical_sno-2.html#wpn-more-5791" class="more-link">Read more</a></p> </div> <div class="wpn-entry-meta"> <aside> <div class="article-tools cleared"> <h2 class="hidden">Article tools</h2> <ul id="wpn-share-post-10077" class="wpn-entry-user-actions"> <li class="wpn-entry-comment-link"><a class="comments-link" href="https://blogs.nature.com/inthefield/2010/02/aps_2010_american_physical_sno.html#respond" title="Comment on APS 2010: American Physical Snowciety">add a comment</a></li> <li class="sendtofriend"><a href="https://blogs.nature.com/inthefield/tell-a-friend?id=5791">Email</a></li> <li class="wpn-share-bookmark"> <h3 class="toggle-bookmarking-links">Share/bookmark</h3> <div id="bookmarking-links" class="bookmarking-popup"> <ul class="bookmarking" id="wpn-share-post-10077"> <li class="facebook"><a href="http://www.facebook.com/share.php?u=https%3A%2F%2Fblogs.nature.com%2Finthefield%2F2010%2F02%2Faps_2010_american_physical_sno.html">Facebook</a></li> <li class="twitter"><a href="https://twitter.com/?status=APS+2010%3A+American+Physical+Snowciety+https%3A%2F%2Fblogs.nature.com%2Finthefield%2F2010%2F02%2Faps_2010_american_physical_sno.html">Twitter</a></li> <li class="delicious"><a href="http://del.icio.us/post?url=https%3A%2F%2Fblogs.nature.com%2Finthefield%2F2010%2F02%2Faps_2010_american_physical_sno.html&title=APS+2010%3A+American+Physical+Snowciety">Delicious</a></li> <li class="digg"><a href="http://digg.com/submit?phase=2&url=https%3A%2F%2Fblogs.nature.com%2Finthefield%2F2010%2F02%2Faps_2010_american_physical_sno.html&title=APS+2010%3A+American+Physical+Snowciety">Digg</a></li> <li class="googleplus"><a href="https://plus.google.com/share?url=https%3A%2F%2Fblogs.nature.com%2Finthefield%2F2010%2F02%2Faps_2010_american_physical_sno.html">Google+</a></li> <li class="linkedin"><a href="http://linkedin.com/cws/share?url=https%3A%2F%2Fblogs.nature.com%2Finthefield%2F2010%2F02%2Faps_2010_american_physical_sno.html&title=APS+2010%3A+American+Physical+Snowciety">LinkedIn</a></li> <li class="reddit"><a href="http://reddit.com/s/https%3A%2F%2Fblogs.nature.com%2Finthefield%2F2010%2F02%2Faps_2010_american_physical_sno.html">Reddit</a></li> <li class="stumbleupon"><a href="http://stumbleupon.com/submit?url=https%3A%2F%2Fblogs.nature.com%2Finthefield%2F2010%2F02%2Faps_2010_american_physical_sno.html&title=APS+2010%3A+American+Physical+Snowciety">StumbleUpon</a></li> </ul> </div> </li> </ul> </div> </aside> </div> </div> </article> <article> <div id="wpn-post-9898" class="hentry wpn-post wpn-publish wpn-post-8 wpn-even wpn-alt wpn-author-naturenews wpn-has-excerpt wpn-category-american-physical-society cleared"> <p class="wpn-dateline"><time datetime="2009-05-05T19:09:27+01:00" pubdate><span class="published"><abbr class="value" title="2009-05-05">05 May 2009 </abbr>|<abbr class="value" title="19:09:27+0100"> 19:09 BST</abbr></span></time></p><h2 class='wpn-post-title entry-title article-heading secondary-heading'><a href='https://blogs.nature.com/inthefield/2009/05/aps_dark_matter_clues.html'>APS: Dark matter clues</a></h2> <p class="wpn-byline">Posted by <span class="author vcard"><a class="url fn n" href="https://blogs.nature.com/blog/author/naturenews/" title="Nature News Team">Nature News Team</a></span><span class="divider"> | </span><span class="category"><span class="before">Categories: </span><a href="https://blogs.nature.com/blog/category/american-physical-society/" rel="tag">American Physical Society</a></span></p> <div class="wpn-entry-summary"> <p>The Fermi space telescope has reported seeing an excess of high-energy electrons that could hint at dark-matter annihilation in the universe.

Two years ago, scientists at the Pierre Auger Observatory in Argentina thought they had it solved. They published a paper in Science, based on two dozen particles, that there was a correlation with the location of Active Galactic Nuclei — supermassive black holes that accelerate jets of material at near-light speed throughout the universe. At the time of the announcment, there was some doubt: The Hi-Res project, which scans the northern sky like Auger does the south, found no such correlation.  <a
