HIGHLIGHTED ARTICLES

FEATURED IN PHYSICS

EDITORS' SUGGESTION

Topological Insulators in Amorphous Systems

Adhip Agarwala and Vijay B. Shenoy

Phys. Rev. Lett. 118, 236402 (2017) - Published 8 June, 2017

Topological insulators, so far only identified in materials with an ordered crystal structure, could potentially be found in amorphous materials.

FEATURED IN PHYSICS

Recoil-Sensitive Lithium Interferometer without a Subrecoil Sample

Kayleigh Cassella, Eric Copenhaver, Brian Estey, Yanying Feng, Chen Lai, and Holger Müller

Phys. Rev. Lett. 118, 233201 (2017) - Published 9 June, 2017

A new atom interferometer works at less extreme temperatures and with lighter atoms than previous designs, opening up a new route to precision measurements of fundamental constants.

EDITORS' SUGGESTION

Constraints on Oscillation Parameters from $ν_{e}$ Appearance and $ν_{μ}$ Disappearance in NOvA

P. Adamson et al. (NOvA Collaboration)

Phys. Rev. Lett. 118, 231801 (2017) - Published 5 June, 2017

Using a muon neutrino source at Fermilab, the NOvA collaboration has measured muon neutrino disappearance and electron neutrino appearance, strengthening constraints on the neutrino $C P$ -violating phase in the inverted-neutrino-mass-hierarchy case.
