Soft robots, nanostethescopes, seeing through walls and more at the largest physics meeting of the year

The American Physical Society's 2012 March meeting will focus on some of the most dynamic and cutting-edge research areas in physics. The topics on tap include high temperature superconductivity, biophysics, and advanced materials, as well as talks and sessions dedicated to social issues, medical technology, energy, and national security. The meeting takes place February 27March 2 at the Boston Convention Center in Boston, Mass.

Registration is free for journalists. Contact James Riordon (riordon@aps.org, 301-209-3238) to register as press. Meeting details, including housing information and the complete meeting schedule, are available at: http://aps.org/meetings/march/index.cfm.
