Radiations, the official Sigma Pi Sigma publication, began as a newsletter in 1930, connecting members and celebrating the society’s values. In 1994, it transformed into a glossy magazine under the same name. Since its inception, the magazine has reflected Sigma Pi Sigma’s core values: honoring academic excellence, fostering a passion for physics and astronomy, encouraging a spirit of service, and building lifelong connections to the physical sciences. Through its news and features, Radiations continues to embody these principles and inspire its readership.
