In-person press registrants will have access to a press room (212A) for work and networking. It will be open from 8 a.m. to 5 p.m. CT Monday through Thursday and 8 a.m. to 2 p.m. on Friday. Refreshments and boxed lunches will be served in the press room daily.
Lunch With a Scientist
On select days, researchers will be available for informal conversations over lunch in the press room (212A). Seating is first-come, first-served. The Lunch With a Scientist schedule is available in the March Meeting press kit. It is subject to change.
Press Happy Hour
APS will host a happy hour for all press registrants in the press room (212A) on Wednesday, March 6 at 5 p.m. Complimentary beer, wine, and non-alcoholic beverages will be served.
Special Session Featuring Nobel Laureates
Winners of the 2023 Nobel Prizes in Physics and Chemistry will discuss their prize-winning research on attosecond physics and quantum dots in this special session on March 3.
Squishy Science Sunday
Press registrants may join other meeting attendees and the public for a celebration of biophysics, polymers, soft matter, and statistical physics. This free event on March 3 will include hands-on experiments, scientific demonstrations, and conversations with physicists.
Gallery of Soft Matter
The annual Gallery of Soft Matter — a visual arts competition that illustrates the science and beauty of soft matter — will be on display throughout the meeting.
Scientific Program
The March Meeting will include more than 900 sessions and 11,000 individual presentations spanning all areas of the physical sciences. For more information, search the scientific program. All times are in Central time.
Press Registration
News media with valid APS press credentials may register for the meeting at no cost. To request press credentials, visit APS’ online newsroom. Press registration will remain open throughout the meeting.

1. NIMS, Sumitomo Metal Mining Co., Ltd. (based in Minato City, Tokyo), N.E. CHEMCAT CORPORATION (based in Minato City, Tokyo) and Priways Co., Ltd. (a NIMS-founded startup based in Tsukuba, Ibaraki) have jointly developed a thick-film, electrically conductive ink suitable for printing electronic circuits and sensors on the surfaces of films and other substrates to manufacture printed electronics. Sumitomo Metal Mining and Priways displayed the ink during the 38th Nepcon Japan exhibition to be held from January ...
There’s a lot of research about moving away from carbon as an energy source, but what if instead the carbon that is being used is applied to its full capacity?
The importance of carbon as an energy source is not to be downplayed. Unfortunately, the reliance on these carbon-based materials has proven to be disastrous for the environment, especially in the quantities they are consumed on a global basis. Therefore, alternative means have to be researched. Superstructure carbons (SCC) are a possible way to use carbons in a more efficient and “green” way that can exceed the current performance and longevity ...
The International Vaccine Institute (IVI), an international organization with a mission to discover, develop, and deliver safe, effective, and affordable vaccines for global health, and the Ministry of Health of Rwanda announced today that IVI will open its Africa Regional Office in Kigali this year. The IVI Board of Trustees (BOT) confirmed Rwanda as the location for IVI’s Africa Regional Office at a meeting in February, following a detailed evaluation of proposals from five countries to host the regional office.
Dr. Jerome Kim, Director General of IVI, said: “We are ...
1. A NIMS research team has developed a new technique to image grain boundaries obstructing lithium-ion migration in solid-state batteries—a promising type of next-generation battery.
2. Solid-state batteries—next-generation rechargeable batteries—are intended to be safer and have higher energy densities than conventional lithium-ion batteries by replacing liquid organic electrolytes with solid electrolytes. A major issue in current solid-state battery R&D is the obstruction of ...

Every year, over 100 million people worldwide suffer a stroke. Ischemic strokes (cerebral infarction) are the most common, but they can also occur "silently" and therefore often go undetected. This can result in serious illnesses such as dementia, depression or even suicide. In order to determine the risk of stroke at an early stage, Prof. Dr. Olga Golubnitschaja, head of the research group for 3P (predictive, preventive and personalized) medicine at the University Hospital Bonn (UKB), together with the University of Bonn and other authors from 25 institutions from 11 countries, has developed a holistic approach to health ...
OAK BROOK, Ill. – As artificial intelligence (AI) is increasingly used in radiology, researchers caution that it’s essential to consider the environmental impact of AI tools, according to a focus article published today in Radiology, a journal of the Radiological Society of North America (RSNA).
Health care and medical imaging significantly contribute to the greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions fueling global climate change. AI tools can improve both the practice of and sustainability in radiology through optimized imaging protocols resulting in shorter scan times, improved scheduling ...
February 27 — Five of the world’s leading research and education (R&E) networking organizations have joined forces to form MetrANOVA, a consortium for Advancing Network Observation, Visualization, and Analysis. Together, founding members Energy Sciences Network (ESnet), GÉANT, GlobalNOC at Indiana University, Internet2, and Texas Advanced Computing Center (TACC) operate and connect a dizzying number of national, regional, and local R&E networks — yet representing a portion of the decentralized fabric linking scientific researchers in hundreds of countries ...
Patients who have drug-resistant tuberculosis (TB) have a similar microbiological response to bedaquiline-based second-line medications as patients with drug-sensitive TB taking first-line regimens, according to researchers at Weill Cornell Medicine in New York and GHESKIO Centers in Haiti. Second-line medications are those that are given when one or more of the drugs given first for the disease are not effective. The research could have implications for shortening the duration of treatment for drug-resistant TB, which currently ...
In an effort to expedite its life-saving work, the Colorectal Cancer Alliance (Alliance) Project Cure CRC initiative is excited to open its Request for Proposals (RFP). Tens of millions of dollars will be available to researchers from around the world whose work aims to expedite colorectal cancer (CRC) research to a curable science. Beginning March 1, the program is accepting applications for one to three-year projects from qualifying professionals at research-based institutions and private companies. Priority will be given to proposals that focus on high-risk/high-reward projects to accelerate new CRC therapies and technologies from bench to bedside.
