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

Group theory and first-principles calculations combine to predict which antiferromagnets have potentially useful net surface magnetization.

A combination of twistronics, hyperbolic shear phenomena, and metasurface concepts provides a powerful tool for reconfiguring and steering the propagation of hyperbolic waves.

Researchers discovered a trick for dragging an object in a fluid with minimal effort, suggesting an optimal strategy for nanorobots.

Modifications to the fermionic neural network allow it to tackle studies of a unitary Fermi gas with unrivaled accuracy, suggesting the architecture can also be used to study other strongly correlated systems such as exotic superfluids and superconductors.

In its superconducting state, an exotic metal harbors charge carriers that appear to have 4 and 6 times the charge of a single electron, suggesting the formation of Cooper-pair “molecules.”

Researchers record the longest Rydberg-atom lifetime by placing strontium atoms in “circular” states, where the outer electrons move in planet-like orbits.

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.

Introducing PRX’s second Perspective, Igor Mazin, PRX’s Editorial Board member, and the editors offer their take on why altermagnetism is needed to describe a new class of magnetism.
