  • In Situ Measurements of Dark Photon Dark Matter Using Parker Solar Probe: Going beyond the Radio Window

    Author(s): Haipeng An, Shuailiang Ge, Jia Liu, and Mingzhe Liu Researchers have turned NASA’s Parker Solar Probe into a dark-matter detector, taking advantage of its close encounters with the Sun to search for dark-photon signals. [Phys. Rev. Lett. 134, 171001] Published Mon Apr 28, 2025

  • Surface Kinematics and the Canonical Yang-Mills All-Loop Integrand

    Author(s): Nima Arkani-Hamed, Qu Cao (曹趣), Jin Dong (董晋), Carolina Figueiredo, and Song He (何颂) A formulation of gluon scattering amplitudes in terms of curves on surfaces leads to new recursion relations for loop integrands in the Yang-Mills theory without supersymmetry. [Phys. Rev. Lett. 134, 171601] Published Mon Apr 28, 2025

  • Critical Clusters in Liquid Crystals: Fractal Geometry and Conformal Invariance

    Author(s): Renan A. L. Almeida and Jeferson J. Arenzon During phase ordering, twisted nematic liquid crystals self-generate critical clusters in the percolation universality class. [Phys. Rev. Lett. 134, 178101] Published Mon Apr 28, 2025

  • Search for Light Dark Matter in Low-Energy Ionization Signals from XENONnT

    Author(s): E. Aprile et al. (XENON Collaboration) The first blinded search by the XENON-nT Collaboration using low-energy ionization signals places new constraints on hypothetical sub-keV dark matter. [Phys. Rev. Lett. 134, 161004] Published Fri Apr 25, 2025

  • Corrugation-Dominated Mechanical Softening of Defect-Engineered Graphene

    Author(s): Wael Joudi, Rika Saskia Windisch, Alberto Trentino, Diana Propst, Jacob Madsen, Toma Susi, Clemens Mangler, Kimmo Mustonen, Florian Libisch, and Jani Kotakoski Microscopy and molecular dynamics suggest that the decrease in the two-dimensional elastic modulus of graphene with engineered defects is primarily due to corrugations from local strain at vacancies with two or more missing atoms, while single vacancies have a negligible effect...

  • Quadrupolar and Dipolar Excitons in Bilayer $2H\text{−}{\mathrm{MoSe}}_{2}$

    Author(s): Shun Feng, Aidan J. Campbell, Bibi Mary Francis, Hyeonjun Baek, Takashi Taniguchi, Kenji Watanabe, Iann C. Gerber, Brian D. Gerardot, and Mauro Brotons-Gisbert Quadrupolar exciton states are shown experimentally to be present in the reflectance contrast spectrum of 2H-stacked bilayer MoSe2. [Phys. Rev. Lett. 134, 166901] Published Fri Apr 25, 2025

  • Differential Elasticity Affects Lineage Segregation of Embryonic Stem Cells

    Author(s): Christine M. Ritter, Tianxiang Ma, Natascha Leijnse, Younes Farhangi Barooji, William Hamilton, Joshua M. Brickman, Amin Doostmohammadi, and Lene B. Oddershede The segregation of two cell types at the earliest stages of embryo development may be enabled by differences in their stiffness. [Phys. Rev. Lett. 134, 168401] Published Fri Apr 25, 2025
