I&#8217;ve got a few ideas along those lines, and of course I get regular emails from journals and press offices bringing other papers to my attention. But I don&#8217;t want to neglect my audience, here&#8230;<\/p>\n<p>So, I&#8217;ll throw this open as a place to request discussions of particular topics or papers. If there&#8217;s some topic in physics that you&#8217;d like me to write up an explanation of, or a paper or preprint that you&#8217;d like me to do the detailed Q&#038;A treatment on, leave a comment letting me know what it is.<\/p>\n<p>Caveats:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>I&#8217;m not promising to explain or write up every topic or paper suggested here. There are some things that are a bit too far outside my areas of expertise for me to say anything sensible about. Atomic, molecular, and optical physics, I&#8217;m comfortable with; experimental work in other low-energy fields I can mostly deal with; high-energy experiment gets tricky; low-energy theory is a stretch; and high-energy theory is almost certainly beyond me.<\/li>\n<li>That said, I will give serious consideration to stuff outside the cold-atom physics that&#8217;s my home base in science. Part of the idea here is to stretch a little and write about things I wouldn&#8217;t necessarily consider writing about. Within reason.<\/li>\n<li>For a variety of reasons, I would be happier with papers available in some sort of open-access format. That doesn&#8217;t have to mean OA journals&#8211; <cite>Science<\/cite> or <cite>Nature<\/cite> papers with preprints on the arxiv or some similar repository would be just fine. It&#8217;s not a complete deal-breaker, but it&#8217;s much easier to write up papers when I know people can get to it without shelling out big bucks.<\/li>\n<li>The comment system here may hold comments containing links for moderation. I will check them and publish them as soon as I can, but I&#8217;m pretty busy at the moment, so it might take a little while. Don&#8217;t panic.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>So, have at it.
