  • Isomer Depletion of $^{93m}\mathrm{Mo}$ Triggered by Inelastic Nuclear Scattering Rather than Nuclear Excitation by Electron Capture

    Author(s): B. Ding (丁兵) et al. A new experiment shows that isomer depletion can be effectively induced when the highly charged isomeric ions slow down in a solid media. [Phys. Rev. Lett. 136, 052502] Published Fri Feb 06, 2026

  • Observation of Lump Solitons

    Author(s): Ludovica Dieli, Davide Pierangeli, Fabio Baronio, Stefano Trillo, and Claudio Conti Experiments with structured light beams provide the first observation of “lump” solitions, shape-preserving solitary waves in a two-dimensional setting. [Phys. Rev. Lett. 136, 053804] Published Fri Feb 06, 2026

  • Nonreciprocal Wave-Mediated Interactions Power a Classical Time Crystal

    Author(s): Mia C. Morrell, Leela Elliott, and David G. Grier A pair of acoustically levitated beads powered by nonreciprocal interactions can spontaneously organize into a continuous time crystal, a state of matter that sustains steady-state oscillations without periodic driving. [Phys. Rev. Lett. 136, 057201] Published Fri Feb 06, 2026

  • Pseudo-Landau Thermal Diffusion

    Author(s): Jun Guo, Guoqiang Xu, Mengqi Liu, Xue Zhou, Guangming Tao, and Cheng-Wei Qiu A synthetic pseudomagnetic field induces Landau-level-like quantization in heat diffusion, leading to a macroscopic quantum thermal Hall-like resistance plateau in a fundamentally dissipative system. [Phys. Rev. Lett. 136, 056306] Published Thu Feb 05, 2026

  • Visualization of Defect-Induced Interband Proximity Effect at the Nanoscale

    Author(s): Thomas Gozlinski, Qili Li, Rolf Heid, Oleg Kurnosikov, Alexander Haas, Ryohei Nemoto, Toyo Kazu Yamada, Jörg Schmalian, and Wulf Wulfhekel By exploiting defects in a superconductor, scientists have observed the switching of a material’s two superconducting states into one. [Phys. Rev. Lett. 136, 056401] Published Wed Feb 04, 2026

  • Purely Electronic Chirality without Structural Chirality

    Author(s): Takayuki Ishitobi and Kazumasa Hattori A crystal whose arrangement of atoms lacks chirality can nevertheless host a chiral electronic state. [Phys. Rev. Lett. 136, 056402] Published Wed Feb 04, 2026

  • Ab Initio Bulk Free Energy Surface of Proper Ferroelectrics

    Author(s): Pinchen Xie, Yixiao Chen, Xinyu Xu, Zhi Yao, Weinan E, and Roberto Car Through a combination of first-principles techniques, neural network models, and metadynamics simulations accurate free energy surfaces of ferroic materials can now be obtained without an a priori ansatz of the polynomial-based energy model.
