Index coverage: vol. 1 - present; Full-text coverage: 1996-present

Full text of articles reviewing the scholarly literature for a variety of topics in the physical, biomedical, and social sciences.

Data

Scientific data on each chemical element from the National Institute of Standards and Technology Physics Laboratory.

Data, Full-text

The High Energy Astrophysics Science Archive Research Center (HEASARC) is the primary archive for high-energy astronomy missions, in the extreme ultraviolet, X-ray and gamma-ray wavelengths. The HEASARC provides archival data, multi-mission software and analysis tools, and information about current and past observatory missions.

Data

From Brookhaven National Laboratory - focus is on low and medium energy nuclear physics; particularly neutron, charged-particle, and photonuclear reactions, nuclear structure, and decay data.

Data

Physical constants, atomic spectroscopic data, molecular spectroscopic data, ionization, X-ray, gamma-ray, nuclear physics, condensed matter physics, and other data, from the National Institute of Standards and Technology.

Developed by the American Institute of Physics, this classification scheme is used in Physical Review and other journals to identify articles by sub-field.
