A new Collection by the Physical Review journals celebrates the 50th anniversary of the discovery of asymptotic freedom in quantum chromodynamics (QCD)—the theoretical basis for the strong force of nature that binds quarks and gluons into hadrons.

The Physical Review is expanding its coverage of astrophysics and astronomy and wants to ensure that papers from these fields have a welcome home in our journals. This collection highlights several significant papers to illustrate the type of research we seek to publish.

This collection of milestone papers from PRC highlights research that remains central to current developments in nuclear physics.

This collection marks the 150th anniversary of Dmitri Mendeleev’s discovery of the Periodic Table of Elements.
