physicsworld.com newswire (Week 10)

With the International Year of Light now in full swing, we've packed the March issue ofPhysics World magazine almost full to bursting with some brilliant features about light. Find out about the global Study After Sunset initiative, which seeks to bring electric lighting to those parts of the developing world that have no power sources after dark. Learn more about astronomers' quest for "dark skies", see why kaleidoscopes are more than a toy, and catch up on the next generation of cameras. Plus discover more about the secret superpower you didn't know you had – the ability to see polarized light. 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.
