  • Protein Structure Classification Based on X-Ray-Laser-Induced Coulomb Explosion

    Author(s): Tomas André, Ibrahim Dawod, Sebastian Cardoch, Emiliano De Santis, Nicuşor Tîmneanu, and Carl Caleman An intense x-ray pulse from a free-electron laser sends a protein’s atoms flying off in directions that reveal the protein’s structure. [Phys. Rev. Lett. 134, 128403] Published Thu Mar 27, 2025

  • Free-Space Optical Modulation of Free Electrons in the Continuous-Wave Regime

    Author(s): Cruz I. Velasco and F. Javier García de Abajo Stimulated Compton scattering uses light beams to compress free-electron pulses, an approach that bypasses the need for nanostructures. [Phys. Rev. Lett. 134, 123804] Published Wed Mar 26, 2025

  • Unusual Energy Spectra of Matrix Product States

    Author(s): J. Maxwell Silvester, Giuseppe Carleo, and Steven R. White High-energy contributions to the spectra of approximate ground states are a universal feature of matrix product states. [Phys. Rev. Lett. 134, 126503] Published Wed Mar 26, 2025

  • Locomotion of Active Polymerlike Worms in Porous Media

    Author(s): R. Sinaasappel, M. Fazelzadeh, T. Hooijschuur, Q. Di, S. Jabbari-Farouji, and A. Deblais T. Tubifex worms display active polymerlike behavior as they navigate complex environments. [Phys. Rev. Lett. 134, 128303] Published Wed Mar 26, 2025

  • Biermann-Battery-Driven Magnetized Collisionless Shock Precursors in Laser-Produced Plasmas

    Author(s): T. M. Johnson, G. D. Sutcliffe, J. A. Pearcy, A. Birkel, G. Rigon, N. V. Kabadi, B. Lahmann, P. J. Adrian, B. L. Reichelt, J. H. Kunimune, S. G. Dannhoff, M. Cufari, C. K. Li, F. Tsung, H. Chen, J. Katz, and V. T. Tikhonchuk State of the art experiments show that Biermann-battery magnetic fields in laser-driven plasmas can produce a magnetized collisionless shock precursor, mimicking the scenario of Venus bow-shock formation.

  • $g$ Factor of Boronlike Tin

    Author(s): J. Morgner, B. Tu, M. Moretti, C. M. König, F. Heiße, T. Sailer, V. A. Yerokhin, B. Sikora, N. S. Oreshkina, Z. Harman, C. H. Keitel, S. Sturm, and K. Blaum The g factor of highly ionized tin is measured with a 0.5 parts-per-billion precision. [Phys. Rev. Lett. 134, 123201] Published Mon Mar 24, 2025

  • Microwave-Controlled Cold Chemistry

    Author(s): Fernanda B. V. Martins, Hansjürg Schmutz, Josef A. Agner, Valentina Zhelyazkova, and Frédéric Merkt The heating effect of microwaves has long been used to accelerate reactions. A new experiment shows that microwaves can also excite molecules into a less reactive state. [Phys. Rev. Lett. 134, 123401] Published Mon Mar 24, 2025
