  • Dissipation due to Bulk Localized Low-Energy Modes in Strongly Disordered Superconductors

    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. [Phys. Rev. Lett. 136, 256001] Published Tue Jun 23, 2026

  • Spontaneous Ratchet Currents and Transition Dynamics in Active Wetting

    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. [Phys. Rev. Lett. 136, 257101] Published Tue Jun 23, 2026

  • Memories of Amplitude and Direction Coexist and Compete in Non-Brownian Suspensions

    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

  • Strings from Almost Nothing

    Author(s): Clifford Cheung, Grant N. Remmen, Francesco Sciotti, and Michele Tarquini Using a “bootstrap” approach, researchers show that a small set of assumptions may naturally lead to a string-theory description of certain high-energy processes. [Phys. Rev. Lett. 136, 251601] Published Mon Jun 22, 2026

  • Quantum Mechanics Based on Real Numbers: A Consistent Description

    Author(s): Pedro Barrios Hita, Anton Trushechkin, Hermann Kampermann, Michael Epping, and Dagmar Bruß By exploiting a physically motivated principle, rather than a mathematical postulate, researchers offer a new perspective on how a real-valued quantum theory can be constructed. [Phys. Rev. Lett. 136, 240202] Published Thu Jun 18, 2026

  • Spectroscopy of $^{4}\mathrm{He}$ at 0.25 ppt Uncertainty and Improved Alpha-Helion Charge-Radius Difference Determination

    Author(s): K. Steinebach, J. C. J. Koelemeij, H. L. Bethlem, and K. S. E. Eikema Improved measurements of an electronic transition in helium-4 atoms constrain the size difference between helium-4 and helium-3 nuclei. [Phys. Rev. Lett. 136, 243001] Published Thu Jun 18, 2026

  • Memory-Assisted Nonlocal Interferometer toward Long-Baseline Telescopes

    Author(s): Bin Wang, Xi-Yu Luo, Bo-Feng Gao, Jian-Long Liu, Chao-Yang Wang, Zi Yan, Qiao-Mu Ke, Da Teng, Ming-Yang Zheng, Yuan Cao, Jun Li, Cheng-Zhi Peng, Qiang Zhang, Xiao-Hui Bao, and Jian-Wei Pan A memory-assisted nonlocal optical interferometer leverages delocalized single-photon entanglement to extend interferometric baselines (up to 20 km) and compensate geometric delay.
