On November 25, 2006, the KATRIN main spectrometer was transported through the village of Eggenstein-Leopoldshafen in Germany. Exactly thirteen years later the collaboration publishes its first neutrino mass measurements. Selected for a Viewpoint in Physics and an Editors' Suggestion.

Improved Upper Limit on the Neutrino Mass from a Direct Kinematic Method by KATRIN

M. Aker et al. (KATRIN Collaboration)

Phys. Rev. Lett. 123, 221802 (2019) - Published 25 November, 2019

The Karlsruhe Tritium Neutrino Experiment (KATRIN) shows that the mass of the neutrino is no larger than about 1 eV—cutting in half the existing limit derived from similar experiments.

Absence of Evidence of Electrical Switching of the Antiferromagnetic Néel Vector

C. C. Chiang, S. Y. Huang, D. Qu, P. H. Wu, and C. L. Chien

Phys. Rev. Lett. 123, 227203 (2019) - Published 27 November, 2019

New experiments suggest that heat might be responsible for the current-induced voltage signals measured in antiferromagnets and not a rotation of the material’s spins as previously thought.

Robust Increase in Supply by Vessel Dilation in Globally Coupled Microvasculature

Felix J. Meigel, Peter Cha, Michael P. Brenner, and Karen Alim

Phys. Rev. Lett. 123, 228103 (2019) - Published 26 November, 2019

A new model predicts that the network pattern formed by the brain’s blood vessels plays no role in local metabolite transport, finding instead that vessel dilation is the key.

Energy of the Th229 Nuclear Clock Isomer Determined by Absolute γ-ray Energy Difference

A. Yamaguchi, H. Muramatsu, T. Hayashi, N. Yuasa, K. Nakamura, M. Takimoto, H. Haba, K. Konashi, M. Watanabe, H. Kikunaga, K. Maehata, N. Y. Yamasaki, and K. Mitsuda

Phys. Rev. Lett. 123, 222501 (2019) - Published 26 November, 2019

A new technique to measure the first isomeric state in 229Th confirms that this isomer is in the laser-accessible vacuum ultraviolet range, and is therefore a candidate for driving a nuclear optical clock.

Underlying Structure of Collective Bands and Self-Organization in Quantum Systems

T. Otsuka, Y. Tsunoda, T. Abe, N. Shimizu, and P. Van Duppen

Phys. Rev. Lett. 123, 222502 (2019) - Published 25 November, 2019

Shell model calculations reveal that collectivity in heavy nuclei could be facilitated by quantum-mechanical self-organization.
