Colloquium : topologically protected transport in engineered mechanical systems, tirth shah, christian brendel, vittorio peano, and florian marquardt, rev. mod. phys. 96 , 021002 (2024) – published 18 april 2024.

Artificially engineered mechanical systems, sometimes called metamaterials, offer many promising applications on length scales ranging from macroscopic systems to the nanoscale. A topic of particular interest is the existence of topologically protected phononic edge states in such systems that are analogous to the electronic edge states that give rise to the quantum Hall effect. This Colloquium gives an introduction to topologically protected transport in metamaterials and its applications for controlling acoustic transport.

Show Abstract

Colloquium : magnetotactic bacteria: from flagellar motor to collective effects, m. marmol, e. gachon, and d. faivre, rev. mod. phys. 96 , 021001 (2024) – published 4 april 2024.

Magnetotactic bacteria have a built-in compass, in the form of a magnetosome chain made up of magnetic biominerals, that allows them to passively align along terrestrial magnetic field lines. They also sense oxygen gradients and swim using at least one flagellum. Hence, these bacteria are self-propelled active matter capable of displaying flocking behavior. This Colloquium explains the physics behind these various capabilities, as well as their interactions and biological significance.

The standard model effective field theory at work

Gino isidori, felix wilsch, and daniel wyler, rev. mod. phys. 96 , 015006 (2024) – published 19 march 2024.

The standard model is successful at describing most of the data at the electroweak scale, but there are indications that new physics should exist at a higher energy scale. To identify, quantify, and elucidate the new physics, one can use the framework of the standard model effective field theory. This article reviews the construction and theoretical tools provided by the effective field theory for analyzing the present and future experimental data, as well as theoretical ideas for new physics.

Electrical control of magnetism by electric field and current-induced torques

Albert fert, ramamoorthy ramesh, vincent garcia, fèlix casanova, and manuel bibes, rev. mod. phys. 96 , 015005 (2024) – published 13 march 2024.

Electronic devices that incorporate magnetism, called spintronic devices, can increase the functionality of electronic circuits and lead to increases in efficiency. Such devices are useful if the magnetization can be manipulated electrically rather than by magnetic fields. This review covers the materials, underlying physics, and applications involved in such manipulation, focusing on two control mechanisms. The first is control by manipulating the magnetization through its coupling to ferroelectric order and the second is control by spin-polarized currents manipulating the magnetization through the angular momentum flowing into it.

Spontaneous scalarization

Daniela d. doneva, fethi m. ramazanoğlu, hector o. silva, thomas p. sotiriou, and stoytcho s. yazadjiev, rev. mod. phys. 96 , 015004 (2024) – published 7 march 2024.

Recent observations of compact astrophysical objects have opened the possibility to probe the nature of gravity in its strong-field regime. Such observations could reveal deviations from general relativity or the standard model. Spontaneous scalarization, which is controlled by scalar-field couplings to gravity, leads to a behavior that resembles a phase transition: the scalar induces measurable effects in the strong-field regime while remaining undetectable in weak-field gravitational experiments. This review presents the spontaneous scalarization mechanism, several scalarization models considered in the literature, and their astrophysical implications for neutron stars and black holes. It also discusses the generalization of such models to other types of fields and instabilities.

Time-resolved ARPES studies of quantum materials

Fabio boschini, marta zonno, and andrea damascelli, rev. mod. phys. 96 , 015003 (2024) – published 27 february 2024.

Time-resolved angle-resolved photoemission spectroscopy provides access to light-induced changes in the electronic band structure and interactions of solids, and to the out-of-equilibrium electron dynamics. This article reviews the history and future prospects for the development of the technique, and offers an overview of recent achievements in studying unoccupied and light-driven states, photoinduced phase transitions, electron-phonon scattering, and electron dynamics in quantum materials, including topological insulators, unconventional superconductors, traditional and novel semiconductors, excitonic insulators, and spin-textured systems.

Erratum: Optical diagnostics of laser-produced plasmas [Rev. Mod. Phys. 94 , 035002 (2022)]

S. s. harilal, m. c. phillips, d. h. froula, k. k. anoop, r. c. issac, and f. n. beg, rev. mod. phys. 96 , 019901 (2024) – published 21 february 2024, 11 citations, controlling mass and energy diffusion with metamaterials, fubao yang, zeren zhang, liujun xu, zhoufei liu, peng jin, pengfei zhuang, min lei, jinrong liu, jian-hua jiang, xiaoping ouyang, fabio marchesoni, and jiping huang, rev. mod. phys. 96 , 015002 (2024) – published 14 february 2024.

Metamaterials are artificially patterned structures designed to behave as artificial materials with novel properties. A popular application is controlling electromagnetic waves with subwavelength patterning, leading to properties like negative indices of refraction. Metamaterials can also control diffusion processes, which are different from wave propagation. This review describes metamaterials in diffusive systems in terms of their underlying physics, the theory used to describe them, and their potential applications in areas such as heat management, drug transport, and particle separation.

Colloquium : Sliding and pinning in structurally lubric 2D material interfaces

Jin wang, ali khosravi, andrea vanossi, and erio tosatti, rev. mod. phys. 96 , 011002 (2024) – published 7 february 2024.

Friction at highly lubric interfaces of two-dimensional materials is important yet incompletely characterized. This Colloquium discusses sliding and pinning between two-dimensional layers, using simulations of twisted graphene interfaces as a prototypical system. The resulting insights are of potential relevance for a larger category of bilayer and multilayer systems as well.

Colloquium : fracton matter, andrey gromov and leo radzihovsky, rev. mod. phys. 96 , 011001 (2024) – published 5 january 2024.

Fractons are exotic excitations originally conceived as platforms for reliable quantum memories. They are characterized by highly restricted mobilities. In the continuum, they are described by tensor fields with higher gauge symmetries. In this Colloquium, the focus is on a class of duality mappings between fracton models and elasticity theory, building the reader’s intuition and understanding in a more familiar setting.

Proton imaging of high-energy-density laboratory plasmas, derek b. schaeffer, archie f. a. bott, marco borghesi, kirk a. flippo, william fox, julien fuchs, chikang li, fredrick h. séguin, hye-sook park, petros tzeferacos, and louise willingale, rev. mod. phys. 95 , 045007 (2023) – published 28 december 2023.

Probing of electromagnetic fields in high-energy-density experiments is key to understanding questions in fusion processes such as how the fields are compressed, diffuse through the plasma, and can seed instabilities. Many kinetic processes studied, including collisionless shocks, filamentary instabilities, jets, magnetic reconnection, and turbulence, all depend on the field structure. In this review, an overview of experimental techniques and the underpinning theoretical principles and modeling of proton-based imaging is presented, followed by a review of experiments and an outlook for future frontiers in the technique.

Colloquium : Gravitational form factors of the proton

V. d. burkert, l. elouadrhiri, f. x. girod, c. lorcé, p. schweitzer, and p. e. shanahan, rev. mod. phys. 95 , 041002 (2023) – published 22 december 2023.

The gravitational form factors encode fundamental particle properties including mass, spin, and D -term. Their physical interpretation promises, for composed particles, insights on spatial distributions of energy, angular momentum, and internal forces. This Colloquium reviews the theoretical and recent experimental advances in this field with focus on the quark-gluon structure of the proton in QCD.

Colloquium : Miniature insect flight

Rev. mod. phys. 95 , 041001 (2023) – published 21 december 2023.

The flight of the bumblebee has long been a source of fascination, in part because the lift requirements cannot be explained by conventional steady fluid dynamics, and unsteady aerodynamic mechanisms must be invoked. In addition, viscous effects are important for the majority of flying insects, which are an order of magnitude smaller than bumblebees. This leads to different wingbeat patterns and aerodynamic mechanisms. In this Colloquium, recent advances in the study of the mechanics of flight in these miniature insects are reviewed.

Quantum repeaters: from quantum networks to the quantum internet, koji azuma, sophia e. economou, david elkouss, paul hilaire, liang jiang, hoi-kwong lo, and ilan tzitrin, rev. mod. phys. 95 , 045006 (2023) – published 20 december 2023.

Quantum technology is now at a point where practical work can begin on creating the quantum internet. However, numerous challenges must be overcome before this vision becomes a reality. A global-scale quantum internet requires the development of the quantum repeater, a device that stores and manipulates qubits while interacting with or emitting entangled photons. This review examines different approaches to quantum repeaters and networks, covering their conceptual frameworks, architectures, and current progress in experimental implementation.

Quantum error mitigation, zhenyu cai, ryan babbush, simon c. benjamin, suguru endo, william j. huggins, ying li, jarrod r. mcclean, and thomas e. o’brien, rev. mod. phys. 95 , 045005 (2023) – published 13 december 2023.

In most of physics it is normal to obtain information by analysis of noisy data. The paradigm of quantum computing has been a simplified version of this – one measurement of a two-level system gives one bit of reliable information about the result of a computation. But real-world quantum computers do not work this way: the noisiness of quantum evolution also requires good strategies for extracting information. This review covers many error-mitigation strategies used in present-day quantum processors. These strategies make it much more feasible to obtain useful results before fault tolerance is achieved.

Kinematic variables and feature engineering for particle phenomenology

Roberto franceschini, doojin kim, kyoungchul kong, konstantin t. matchev, myeonghun park, and prasanth shyamsundar, rev. mod. phys. 95 , 045004 (2023) – published 21 november 2023.

Kinematic variables are important tools for analyzing collider experiments. This article reviews a variety of such tools, which were designed primarily for the experiments at the Large Hadron Collider, but which have potential uses in other experiments. The article also discusses the interconnection and mutual complementarity of kinematic variables and modern machine-learning techniques.

Light in correlated disordered media, kevin vynck, romain pierrat, rémi carminati, luis s. froufe-pérez, frank scheffold, riccardo sapienza, silvia vignolini, and juan josé sáenz, rev. mod. phys. 95 , 045003 (2023) – published 15 november 2023.

The study of optics in correlated disordered media combines wave physics, complex media, and nanophotonics. Investigations have shown how subwavelength structural correlations control light scattering, transport, and localization. This article reviews the formalism behind light scattering in disordered media, experimental techniques, and achievements in studying light interaction with correlated disorder. It explores phenomena like optical transparency, superdiffusive transport, and photonic gaps, offering new perspectives for applications. The research covers systems from photonic liquids to hyperuniform disordered photonic materials, and addresses mesoscopic phenomena and disorder engineering for light-energy management.

Atmospheric nanoparticle growth

Dominik stolzenburg, runlong cai, sara m. blichner, jenni kontkanen, putian zhou, risto makkonen, veli-matti kerminen, markku kulmala, ilona riipinen, and juha kangasluoma, rev. mod. phys. 95 , 045002 (2023) – published 9 november 2023.

Atmospheric nanoparticles can serve as nuclei for cloud droplets, thereby inducing significant but uncertain effects on the radiative forcing of the climate system. This article focuses on the physicochemical processes that govern the growth of these particles from formation of molecular clusters until the particles reach sizes where they can act as cloud condensation nuclei. The review describes the latest developments in measurement and modeling of these processes and connects these domains to the large-scale simulations such as Earth system models. The authors recommend closer coordination among laboratory studies, atmospheric measurements, and large-scale modeling to understand the importance of nanoparticles in the climate system.

Respiratory aerosols and droplets in the transmission of infectious diseases, mira l. pöhlker, christopher pöhlker, ovid o. krüger, jan-david förster, thomas berkemeier, wolfgang elbert, janine fröhlich-nowoisky, ulrich pöschl, gholamhossein bagheri, eberhard bodenschatz, j. alex huffman, simone scheithauer, and eugene mikhailov, rev. mod. phys. 95 , 045001 (2023) – published 12 october 2023, : linking a respiratory drop’s size to its origin.

The pandemic of coronavirus disease 2019 has led to a renewed focus on the physicochemical properties of the droplets and aerosol particles that are exhaled during breathing, speaking, singing, coughing, and sneezing. In this article, the properties of respiratory particles, including their number concentrations and size distributions, as well as their formation mechanisms at different sites in the respiratory system, are reviewed. The data in the literature are synthesized via a parametrization of the particle size distribution data using log-normal modes related to the different origin sites.

Atom counting with accelerator mass spectrometry, walter kutschera, a. j. timothy jull, michael paul, and anton wallner, rev. mod. phys. 95 , 035006 (2023) – published 28 september 2023.

Accelerator mass spectrometry (AMS) is a mass-spectrometric method using entire accelerator systems to measure ultralow traces of long-lived radioisotopes. AMS spectrometers produce an ion beam from a sample of interest and separate ions according to their magnetic, electric, and atomic characteristics. It is thus possible to identify both the mass number and the atomic number of a very rare radioisotope, and count it atom by atom. The review describes the 45-year history since the discovery of AMS, detailed technical aspects, and a wide range of research fields.

Colloquium : anomalous statistics of laser-cooled atoms in dissipative optical lattices, gadi afek, nir davidson, david a. kessler, and eli barkai, rev. mod. phys. 95 , 031003 (2023) – published 27 september 2023.

The standard central limit theorem does not apply to sums of many random variables with heavy-tailed probability distributions. The anomalous statistics for such sums have exotic properties and they are applied phenomenologically across the natural sciences, economics, and the social sciences. This Colloquium reviews how anomalous statistics can be derived from first principles and how they govern the observed diffusive motion of ultracold atoms in laser fields.

The physics of fast radio bursts, rev. mod. phys. 95 , 035005 (2023) – published 25 september 2023.

Fast radio bursts, milliseconds-duration radio bursts predominantly originating from cosmological distances, figure among the unsolved puzzles of contemporary astrophysics. The rapid accumulation of observational data has generated an equally intense theoretical activity toward the understanding of the physical processes at the origin of these events. This review presents a thorough survey of the current knowledge about fast radio bursts, starting with the generic constraints that can be placed on theoretical models based on current observations and plasma physics considerations, then moving to a critical discussion of coherent radiation mechanisms and source models currently debated in the scientific community.

Editorial: To Review Is to Be

Randall d. kamien, rev. mod. phys. 95 , 030001 (2023) – published 25 september 2023, colloquium : unconventional fully gapped superconductivity in the heavy-fermion metal cecu 2 si 2, michael smidman, oliver stockert, emilian m. nica, yang liu, huiqiu yuan, qimiao si, and frank steglich, rev. mod. phys. 95 , 031002 (2023) – published 15 september 2023.

The heavy-fermion compound CeCu 2 Si 2 has long been known to be an unconventional superconductor with d -wave symmetry. Ordinarily, this would imply that the gap function has nodes on the Fermi surface. This Colloquium explains that recent experiments have shown that the gap is nonzero everywhere, if small where a single-band wave gap would vanish. The Colloquium discusses theoretical scenarios to explain these observations, as well as the implications for other unconventional superconductors.

Understanding fundamental interactions of elementary particles is a long sought goal of nuclear physics study. Nuclear theorists recently estimated about 4000 nuclei are still unknown and their structures and reaction mechanisms need to be studied by both experiment and theory. The nuclear properties are also important to find the origin of elements in the Universe. The Center for Exotic Nuclear Studies (CENS) at the Institute for Basic Science was founded to address such fundamental problems in astrophysics and nuclear physics. In this paper, the latest research activities at CENS is highlighted and the status of experimental device developments performed by the center is reported.
