"Physics world" or "Physics today"

Hi,

I want to subscribe to one of these two magazines:
- “Physics world”
- “Physics today”

Which one do you recommend?
What differences have?

Thanks.

One's British and the other American. :biggrin: I read the first one at a library, and it's a good journal. Topics are not very technical. You can read some of the articles for free at their website.
 
I don't know about Physics World but Physics Today is quite technical (at least for me--a high school student.)

It has a lot of good stuff in it regardless... I still enjoy reading it.
