March Meeting 2021 Hits the Web
By Leah Poffenberger
In lieu of the typical bustling March Meeting, packing thousands of physicists from around the world into a huge convention center, APS is taking the 2021 March Meeting online. From March 15 to 19, the same exciting, high quality physics content that attendees have come to expect will make its way into offices, living rooms, or anywhere with a computer, with new events designed for the online meeting experience.
The 2021 March Meeting will feature speakers and attendees representing 30 APS units and committees, with more than 10,800 abstracts submitted. Scientific sessions taking place from 8:00 am to 5:30 pm (CT) each day will mirror the usual March Meeting schedule, but the online format will introduce added flexibility to watch some sessions live and others on-demand.

Scientists and engineers seeking to power the alternative-energy future are scrambling to find new sources of lithium for rechargeable batteries.
The overall demand, a panel of researchers said today at the virtual meeting of the American Geophysical Union, is expected to double in the next five years, and increase tenfold by 2030.
Much will be driven by the increasing use of electric vehicles, says Michael Whittaker, a director of the Lithium Resource Research and Innovation Center at Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory (LBNL) in California. “To power our electric trucks, we’re going to need as much lithium as we can get,” he says.
