• AIP Publishing unveils new high profile cover design for its portfolio of journals—For more information and to preview the new AIP journal covers, visit: journals.aip.org. (10 January 2012)
• AIP online journals offer MathJax to display mathematics
  AIP has partnered with MathJax, an open-source JavaScript display engine that produces high-quality math in all modern browsers, without special set-up requirements. In addition to higher-quality, cross-platform, browser-agnostic equation rendering, readers of AIP online journals can now copy equations from journal articles and paste them directly into text editors like Word, LaTeX, MathType, and research wikis, as well as into calculation software like Maple, Mathematica, and others.
  To see MathJax in action, visit your favorite Biomicrofluidics article and select the Read Online option. Once in the HTML view, go to the navigation bar and turn on MathJax. From there you can copy and paste any equation into your favorite MathML-enabled editor.
  Watch the video. (30 November 2011)
