physicsworld.com newswire (Week 6)

Welcome to the latest edition of the weekly physicsworld.comnewswire.
The February issue of Physics World magazine is now ready and waiting for you to access online or via our app. Our cover story this month examines the small band of firms seeking to make money by exploiting resources on the Moon. We also look at the challenges of "open data" – it's something everyone thinks is a good idea in principle, even if it's hard to get to work in practice. Elsewhere, we look at the future of particle colliders – should the world go circular or linear? Plus there's the usual mix of opinion, Lateral Thoughts, careers and more. All members of the Institute of Physics can access the digital edition either via thePhysics World app, which you can download from the App Store or Google Play, or via thedesktop version.
