APS has selected 156 Outstanding Referees for 2024 who have demonstrated exceptional work in the assessment of manuscripts published in the Physical Review journals. A full list of the Outstanding Referees is available online.

PRX presents a collection of papers dedicated to ultrafast generation, control, and imaging of electronic dynamics in molecules and in solids—a fortuitously timed tribute to the 2023 Nobel-Prize-winning attosecond technology.

Introducing PRX’s second Perspective, Igor Mazin, PRX’s Editorial Board member, and the editors offer their take on why altermagnetism is needed to describe a new class of magnetism.
