  • No Black Holes from Light

    Author(s): Álvaro Álvarez-Domínguez, Luis J. Garay, Eduardo Martín-Martínez, and José Polo-Gómez The formation of a black hole from light alone is permitted by general relativity, but a new study says quantum physics rules it out. [Phys. Rev. Lett. 133, 041401] Published Fri Jul 26, 2024

  • Giant Piezoelectric Effects of Topological Structures in Stretched Ferroelectric Membranes

    Author(s): Yihao Hu, Jiyuan Yang, and Shi Liu Emergence of helical dipole spirals in ferroelectric PbTiO3 is expected to increase the piezoelectric response by approximately 400%. [Phys. Rev. Lett. 133, 046802] Published Fri Jul 26, 2024

  • Collisionless Magnetorotational Turbulence in Pair Plasmas: Steady-State Dynamics, Particle Acceleration, and Radiative Cooling

    Author(s): Fabio Bacchini, Vladimir Zhdankin, Evgeny A. Gorbunov, Gregory R. Werner, Lev Arzamasskiy, Mitchell C. Begelman, and Dmitri A. Uzdensky The largest 3D fully kinetic shearing-box simulations of pair-plasma magnetorotational turbulence which take into account the radiation reaction self-consistently show how particles can be accelerated efficiently to nonthermal energies independently of initial conditions.

  • Hybrid van der Waals Epitaxy

    Author(s): Lin Hu, Danshuo Liu, Fawei Zheng, Xuelin Yang, Yugui Yao, Bo Shen, and Bing Huang The growth of a nitride epilayer on a van der Waals substrate follows a new growth mechanism, different from the previously known models of material growth.

  • Biomimetic Synchronization in Biciliated Robots

    Author(s): Yiming Xia, Zixian Hu, Da Wei, Ke Chen, Yi Peng, and Mingcheng Yang How an alga synchronizes its two flapping cilia to propel itself is revealed in a tabletop experiment with chains of mobile robots. [Phys. Rev. Lett. 133, 048302] Published Wed Jul 24, 2024

  • Inverse Spin Hall Effect Dominated Spin-Charge Conversion in (101) and (110)-Oriented ${\mathrm{RuO}}_{2}$ Films

Miao A method based on spin-pumping and symmetry disentangles the effects of spin Hall and spin splitting phenomena in RuO2 and other altermagnets. [Phys. Rev. Lett. 133, 046701] Published Tue Jul 23, 2024

  • Collective Charge Excitations between Moiré Minibands in Twisted ${\mathrm{WSe}}_{2}$ Bilayers Probed with Resonant Inelastic Light Scattering

    Author(s): Nihit Saigal, Lennart Klebl, Hendrik Lambers, Sina Bahmanyar, Veljko Antić, Dante M. Kennes, Tim O. Wehling, and Ursula Wurstbauer Collective electronic excitations between moiré-bands in twisted WSe2 bilayers may be probed by resonant inelastic light scattering, a sensitive way to access the moiré-bands and to study their unique properties.
