Physical Review Letters (PRL), established in 1958, is a peer-reviewed, scientific journal that is published 52 times per year by the American Physical Society. The journal is considered one of the most prestigious in the field of physics. Over a quarter of Physics Nobel Prize-winning papers between 1995 and 2017 were published in it.
PRL is published both online and as a print journal. Its focus is on short articles ("letters") intended for quick publication. The Lead Editor is Hugues Chaté. The Managing Editor is Robert Garisto.




History


The journal was created in 1958. Samuel Goudsmit, who was then the editor of Physical Review, the American Physical Society's flagship journal, organized and published Letters to the Editor of Physical Review into a new standalone journal, which became Physical Review Letters. It was the first journal intended for the rapid publication of short articles, a format that eventually became popular in many other fields.

General Physics: Statistical and Quantum mechanics, Quantum information, etc.
Gravitation and astrophysics
Elementary particles and fields
Nuclear physics
Atomic, molecular, and optical physics
Nonlinear dynamics, Fluid dynamics, Classical optics, etc.
Plasma and beam physics
Condensed matter: Structure, etc.
Condensed Matter: Semiconductor-Electronic properties, etc.
Polymer, Soft matter, Biological, and Interdisciplinary physics
A section before the table of contents highlights a small number of particularly notable articles in each edition.
