@PhysRevLett
Flagship journal of the nonprofit APS. The most cited physics journal, publishing Letters which substantially move physics forward.
- Droplets of different liquids bounce off each other several times on a hot plate until they coalesce when the droplet that evaporates faster reaches a certain critical size dictated by the capillary length Letter: go.aps.org/3wIjyy4 Video: go.aps.org/3qxCjD9
00:00 - In the Scientific Background of the Physics @NobelPrize for Giorgio Parisi, 5 PRLs & 1 RMP were cited. We've made them all free to read: journals.aps.org/prl/abstract/1… journals.aps.org/prl/abstract/1… journals.aps.org/prl/abstract/1… journals.aps.org/rmp/abstract/1… journals.aps.org/prl/abstract/1… journals.aps.org/prl/abstract/1…
- ** STEPHEN HAWKING WAS RIGHT ** Using a very strong black-hole merger signal, the @LIGO-@ego_virgo-@KAGRA_PR Collaboration has shown the 2nd law of black hole mechanics, Hawking's area law (A_final > A_initial), to hold with high credibility. PRL: go.aps.org/3VarXHA #open
- BINARY-NEUTRON-STAR MERGER SEEN VIA GRAVITATIONAL WAVES & EM RADIATION @LIGO-@ego_virgo, #ManyTelescopes go.aps.org/2hHHStN #OpenAccess
- Congratulations to John Clarke, Michael Devoret, & John Martinis @NobelPrize in Physics "for the discovery of macroscopic quantum mechanical tunneling & energy quantization in an electric circuit" in 3 PRLs journals.aps.org/prl/abstract/1… journals.aps.org/prl/abstract/1… journals.aps.org/prl/abstract/1…
- Navier-Stokes equations are shown to emerge from a generalized hydrodynamics description for nearly integrable 1D quantum many-body systems go.aps.org/3W4OCWi
- A measurement @Fermilab of the muon magnetic moment agrees with a longstanding @BrookhavenLab result, boosting tension with the standard-model #gminus2 theory prediction to 4.2 standard deviations. Letter: journals.aps.org/prl/abstract/1… #openaccess
- A new statistical test identifies groups of variables that are mutually coupled and can be represented in a causal graph as single, aggregated nodes, which allows the extraction of hierarchical structures from observational data go.aps.org/4m9JDyy

00:00 - Gravitational field equations describing binary black holes can be recast in a form resembling coupled Maxwell’s equations for electrodynamics go.aps.org/4g0K9g6
- Quantum squeezing has for the first time been used, by @LIGO & @ego_virgo, to improve the sensitivity of gravitational wave detectors, increasing their detection rate by up to 50%. Letters: go.aps.org/2YuyAGB go.aps.org/2RkEIQ1 #OpenAccess Focus: go.aps.org/2LrnU60
- Volume 135, Issue 11 journals.aps.org/prl/issues/135… Cover: Inspiral, merger, and ringdown for a pair of black holes, which allowed confirmation of Hawking’s area law. Data are from @LIGOWA (red) and @LIGOLA (blue) journals.aps.org/prl/issues/135…
- Experiments with colloidal particles have uncovered conditions where an intermediate layer that separates a crystallizing liquid from its solid forms #CoolVideo Letter: go.aps.org/4gcNokc Synopsis: go.aps.org/3OLHqut
