The Net Advance of Physics:
RECOMMENDED PHYSICS-RELATED SITES
in alphabetical order

• AeroSpaceGuide by Vic Stathopoulos. Numerous space-exploration and solar-system related pages, very well done.

• American Elements: Online handbook of the chemical elements (American and otherwise) from a large advanced materials producer.

• arXiv E-Print Archive

• Ask Dr. Math:

• Astrobites: The astro-ph Reader's Digest Written by postgraduate students: one paper a day from the astro-ph section of arXiv, retold in a form meant to be accessible to non-specialists.

• Bill Beatty's Science Hobbyist: Much more than the name suggests.

• Chembites: Written by postgraduate students. Summaries of recent research papers in chemistry, in a style meant to be accessible to non-specialists.

• Chemistry Teaching Resources Annotated: Comprehensive and well-designed index by Knut Irgum. Unfortunately, a number of the links have expired.

• DIY Physics by David and Shanni Prutchi

• DIY Space Exploration

• David P. Stern's Website: Presents a great deal of physics, astronomy, and space-science at approximatley high-school level, with cultural context. Parts of the site also feature lesson plans for classroom use.

• Egglescliffe's Physics Pages: Andy Gregory's site, aimed at A-level (in the British sense) physics students. Egglescliffe is a school in Teesside, England.

• Engineering Degree Resources: Information on a wide variety of subjects directly or very indirectly connected with engineering, ranging from Python programming to the life of Stephen Hawking. [EngineeringDegree.Net]

• Free Book Centre: Physics Books: Links to e-books, including many lecture notes.

• FreeScience: Hundreds of online technical-books.

• Free Software Foundation: Heroes of our times.

• GA-Net: Clifford-algebra news.

• SETI@home: Serious project to "harness the spare power of hundreds of thousands of Internet-connected computers" to analyse the Berkeley SERENDIP radio data.

• Shadow and Substance: "A website to display popular astronomy both visually and entertainingly."

• Skulls in the Stars: "Dr. SkySkull" is the pseudonym of a physics professor at UNC. "The blog covers topics in physics and optics, the history of science, classic pulp fantasy and horror fiction, and the surprising intersections between these areas."

• Sloan Digital Sky Survey

• Spectrum of Physics: A comprehensive general physics links site.

• Super Physics: Accessible non-mathematical introductions to some areas of modern physics.

• Topics in Theoretical Physics by Luca Bombelli [University of Mississippi]
