I was just wondering what kind of physics or general science sites you all regularily visit. For me it's here and www.slashdot.org which has the occasional science story.

On a normal weekday morning (i.e. I'm not on vacation or travelling), this is the list of sites I go to without fail (not in any particular order)

http://arxiv.org/
http://www.nature.com/nature/index.html
http://www.sciencemag.org/
http://publish.aps.org/
http://www.iop.org/ (Actually, I go straight to the Journal page, but unless you have site access, you may not be able to get to that page directly)
http://physicsweb.org/
http://scitation.aip.org/

And of course, PF. I also go to a number of Disney websites, but I guess that's not relevant here. :)

Zz.
 
I also go to

newscientist.com
wired.com
space.com
Australian Brodcasting Corporation's Science News http://www.abc.net.au/science/news
Scientific American: sciam.com
nanotechweb.org
American Institute of Physics's Physics News Update: http://www.aip.org/pnu/

I have almost all of them on RSS, on Safari 2.0, built by Apple. (w00t)

I check out physicsweb.org, news at nature.com and sciencemag.org. And then of course the latest in prb, prl, jop:cm and euro phys. lett.
 
So I know that electrons are fundamental, there's no 'material' that makes them up, it's like talking about a colour itself rather than a car or a flower. Now protons and neutrons and quarks and whatever other stuff is there fundamentally, I want someone to kind of teach me these, I have a lot of questions that books might not give the answer in the way I understand. Thanks
