Finding the best in physics now becomes easier with the formal launch of Physics,
http://physics.aps.org/
a new, free, online publication from the American Physical Society. Physics will highlight and provide commentary on selected papers from among the extensive publications of Physical Review Letters and the Physical Review series. Optional weekly email updates will keep readers apprised of important new articles as they appear.
Physics aims to meet those needs by means of three features, all with original content.
- Viewpoints discuss and explain a particular paper’s findings in a manner accessible to all physicists, especially to those outside its subspecialty.
- Trends are longer pieces that cover a recent body of work in a specific field, but also look ahead to the challenges and questions that fascinate that field’s top researchers.
- Synopses are staff-written summaries of papers that merit wider attention among physicists in all fields.
