Physics Professor David Newman has drawn national attention with his recent work on the susceptibility of large systems, such as the nation''s power grid, to catastrophic failure. This month, an American Institute of Physics journal published a paper by Newman and two co-authors on how to calculate a power grid's optimal size.
