PhysicsSpotlighting Exceptional Research Are you drowning in a flood of research papers in your own field and coping with an even larger deluge in other areas of physics? We suspect you are. The Physical Review journals alone published over 18,000 papers last year. How can an active researcher stay informed about the most important developments in physics? Expert CommentariesThe new APS website, Physics, will help you stay connected to physics research areas. Physics highlights exceptional papers from the Physical Review journals through expert commentaries written by active researchers. Physics researchers explain research results for physicists in other subfields. These commissioned articles are edited for clarity and readability across fields and are accompanied by explanatory illustrations. Free Weekly ArticlesEach week, aided by referee comments and internal discussion, editors from each of the Physical Review journals choose papers that merit highlighting in Physics. We select commentary authors from around the world who are known for their expertise and communication skills and we devote much effort to editing these commentaries for broad accessibility.
