This month we publish a Review and an Expert Recommendation on multi-messenger astrophysics, a field that inherently involves big collaborations, big instruments and big data.
Two recent papers demonstrate optical waveguides consisting of ultrathin photonic crystals, which approach the lowest possible thickness for such devices.
This October, the new user facilities at the Cornell High-Energy Synchrotron Source will open their doors to researchers following a major upgrade project.
Gauge theories, such as quantum electrodynamics, are a cornerstone of high-energy particle physics. They may also describe the physics of certain unassuming materials. Recent theoretical work moves this idea closer to reality.
Multi-messenger astrophysics is an emerging discipline that combines the information from cosmic rays, neutrinos, gravitational waves and photons emitted by cosmic sources. This overview of the field highlights its challenges and exciting opportunities.
Angle-resolved photoemission spectroscopy (ARPES) is a tool for directly probing the electronic structure of solids and has had a crucial role in studying topological materials. In this Technical Review, we discuss the latest developments of various ARPES techniques and their applications to topological materials
The dynamics of quantum information is opening new perspectives on the behaviour of complex many-body systems. This Perspective covers progress made with atomic gases and trapped ions for accessing the dynamics of quantum correlations, entanglement and information scrambling in a broad parameter regime.
