About DBIS | Story archive | DBIS home
APS brings Discoveries and Breakthroughs Inside Science to its members and to local English and Spanish TV newscasts all over the United States. With accurate, scientifically reviewed and reliable science information, DBIS covers many recent developments in devices and systems we use every day. These stories reach an audience that does not have regular access to quality science news.
Produced by the American Institute of Physics and supported by a coalition of science, engineering, and mathematical societies, Discoveries and Breakthroughs Inside Science promotes awareness of and appreciation for scientists' roles in everyday life.
