On top of the world: how science helps us conquer Everest
Melanie Windridge’s ascent of Mount Everest is our cover story this month. Windridge, who is a physicist by training, describes how science and technology are vital for any successful ascent, whether it’s for communication, clothing or climate. Elsewhere in the issue, James McKenzie offers his top tips for shining at a job interview, while Robert P Crease reveals your best metaphors for doing physics. We also have Philip Ball writing on how to exploit quantum noise, while Alan Cottey looks at the life of Nobel laureate Martin Ryle, who was born 100 years ago this month.
