A study of generalized global symmetries provides novel, realistic theories of particle physics beyond the standard model, including a natural description of why neutrino masses are so much smaller than those of charged leptons.

New models of social systems as directed hypergraphs reveal how group dynamics play a crucial role in shaping social systems across various domains like politics, epidemiology, and economics.

A field theory for filaments interacting through the action of motor proteins, leading to alignment and sliding, shows the emergence of structures that are nonequilibrium counterparts to those formed by lipids.

Penning traps enable the preparation of clean bilayer crystals of hundreds of ions, thus going beyond 1D and 2D crystals and opening new avenues in trapped-ion quantum information processing.

Joint correlations between small numbers of eigenstates in a many-body quantum system can capture many aspects of quantum dynamics not captured by the current standard framework of the eigenstate thermalization hypothesis.

An extension of a magnetic imaging technique with soft X-rays provides access to samples much thicker than previously possible, with potential impacts across a wide variety of fundamental and applied research efforts.

A soft x-ray magnetic imaging technique makes possible the study of a wide range of magnetic materials.

Broadly distributed plant movements serve as “functional noise.” This new insight provides a framework for studying plant navigation based on task oriented processes, optimization, and active sensing.

The policy requires authors to explain where research data can be found starting Sept. 4.

When determining the authorship list for your next paper, be generous yet disciplined.

Two PRX Editorial Board members, Liuyan Zhao and Xavier Marie, talk about why PRX is positively welcoming to the field of 2D materials research.

APS has selected 156 Outstanding Referees for 2024 who have demonstrated exceptional work in the assessment of manuscripts published in the Physical Review journals. A full list of the Outstanding Referees is available online.

PRX presents a collection of papers dedicated to ultrafast generation, control, and imaging of electronic dynamics in molecules and in solids—a fortuitously timed tribute to the 2023 Nobel-Prize-winning attosecond technology.
