Author(s): Hao Zhao, Qianjun Zheng, and Peng Yan A tiny bump in a magnetic film exposed to microwaves can engender spin waves with precisely spaced frequencies. [Phys. Rev. Lett. 136, 256708] Published Thu Jun 25, 2026

Author(s): Ayush Roy, Lorenzo Küchler, Adam Pound, and Rodrigo Panosso Macedo A modular framework within the self-force formalism that applies to a large class of effective field theories of gravity in order to perform tests of general relativity with binary black hole mergers is critical for tests of general relativity that make use of the upcoming space-based gravitational wave detectors such as LISA.

Author(s): Abhay Ashtekar, Daniel E. Paraizo, and Jonathan Shu The first law of black hole mechanics has been extended to dynamical horizons so that the law applies to black holes arbitrarily far from equilibrium, a fundamental result that formally shows the thermodynamic description of black holes extends beyond the typical stationary solutions.

Author(s): Éric Cancès, Théo Duez, Jari van Gog, Asbjørn Bækgaard Lauritsen, Mathieu Lewin, and Julien Toulouse A geometric reformulation of time-dependent density-functional theory better describes nonequilibrium systems. [Phys. Rev. Lett. 136, 256401] Published Wed Jun 24, 2026

Author(s): Anton V. Khvalyuk and Mikhail V. Feigel’man Microwave dissipation in strongly disordered superconductors is driven by localized collective modes within rare weak spots, a theoretical insight which provides a fresh strategy to enhance coherence times in quantum devices.

Author(s): Noah Grodzinski, Robert L. Jack, and Michael E. Cates Active wetting is a true surface phase transition that has remarkable similarities to critical wetting transitions in equilibrium, but it also features important differences, such as dynamical transition pathways that would be forbidden for passive fluids.

Author(s): Surendra Padamata and Nathan C. Keim A new experiment elucidates the ability of some particle–fluid mixtures to behave in ways that depend on their previous flow. [Phys. Rev. Lett. 136, 258201] Published Tue Jun 23, 2026
