If you have studied physics beyond school, you will likely have heard of the Rayleigh–Jeans law – an equation that accurately approximates the spectral radiance of blackbody radiation at long wavelengths. The equation is named after the English physicists John Rayleigh and James Jeans , the latter being the subject of a new biography: Sir James Jeans: Scientist, Philosopher and Musician , written by his son Christopher Jeans (co-authored with Alexandr Kozenko).

By Gail McCormick, Penn State News A new luminescent sensor can detect terbium, a valuable rare earth element, from complex environmental samples like acid mine waste. The sensor, developed by researchers at Penn State, takes advantage of a protein that very specifically binds to rare earth elements and could be harnessed to help develop a domestic supply of these metals, which are used in technologies such as smartphones, electric car batteries, and energy efficient lighting.
