In summary, there has been a change in the content of the "news in science" line on Physics Forums. It used to focus on physics news, but now it includes topics from Scientific American that are not related to physics. There are concerns about the independence of the website and whether Scientific American is now a sponsor. However, it has been clarified that SciAm does not dictate anything on PF. For more information, please refer to the provided link.

What happened to the "news in science" line? It was once a very good collection of news in physics. Now, it mutated to a Scientific American news ticker and topics aren't related to physics any more. So far, I had the impression that www.physicsforms.com[/URL] is a completely independent website and a real great opportunity to discuss problems with extremely competent and helpfull members. Most people in here probably read journals like Nature, Science, Phys. Rev., Nano-letters ... . instead of the Scientific American. Is Scientific American a new sponsor of the forum? Loosing the independency would be very, very sad.
