Chiral liquid numerical simulation showing the particle displacements (arrows) and local bond orientations (color).
Claudio B. Caporusso, Giuseppe Gonnella, and Demian Levis
Phys. Rev. Lett. 132, 168201 (2024)
EDITORS' SUGGESTION
Precision measurement of the fine structure in helium makes it possible to perform an independent measurement of the fine structure constant.
F. Heydarizadmotlagh et al.
Phys. Rev. Lett. 132, 163001 (2024)
EDITORS' SUGGESTION
The first experimental measurement of the incoherent photonuclear production of in ultraperipheral heavy-ion collisions is better explained by the presence of subnuclear quantum fluctuations of the gluon field.
S. Acharya et al. (ALICE Collaboration)
Phys. Rev. Lett. 132, 162302 (2024)
EDITORS' SUGGESTION
Muon spin rotation measurements of the magnetic ground state of a high-purity single-crystal RuO, in combination with DFT calculations, show there is no bulk antiferromagnetic order as previously reported.
M. Hiraishi et al.
Phys. Rev. Lett. 132, 166702 (2024)
EDITORS' SUGGESTION
Strain localization in shear bands is key to the yielding and material failure of amorphous systems subject to oscillatory shear.

EDITORS' SUGGESTION
Millijoule THz emission has been experimentally observed in the backward direction of laser wakefields generated by focusing an intense femtosecond laser pulse on a gas nozzle.
Linzheng Wang et al.
Phys. Rev. Lett. 132, 165002 (2024)
EDITORS' SUGGESTION
A new medium-entropy alloy, TaNbHfZr, under pressure sets a record high in its class of materials at 15.3 K.
Liyunxiao Wu et al.
Phys. Rev. Lett. 132, 166002 (2024)
EDITORS' SUGGESTION
An exact full set of matrix product states of highly degenerate tricritical Lifshitz points in the quantum spin model with anisotropic interactions has been discovered.
Hidehiro Saito and Chisa Hotta
Phys. Rev. Lett. 132, 166701 (2024)
EDITORS' SUGGESTION
First-principles structure predictions across a very wide range of chemical compositions suggest that the cubic MgIrH structure is dynamically stable at zero pressure, and is computed to have a of around 160K.
