February 6, 2013  The editors of the APS journals have selected 142 new Outstanding Referees for 2013, out of more than 60,000 currently active referees. Initiated in 2008, the highly selective Outstanding Referee program recognizes scientists who have been exceptionally helpful in assessing manuscripts for publication in the APS journals. Selections are based on two decades of records on the number, quality, and timeliness of referee reports. The 2013 honorees come from 27 different countries, with large contingents from the US, Germany, UK, Canada, and France. The decisions were difficult and there are many excellent referees who have yet to be recognized. By means of the program, APS expresses appreciation to all referees, whose efforts in peer review not only keep the standards of the journals at a high level, but in many cases also help authors to improve the quality and readability of their articles—even those that are not published by APS. For more information and a listing of all Outstanding Referees, please visit http://publish.aps.org/OutstandingReferees.

October 16, 2012  Today ORCID opened its registry allowing researchers in all fields and from around the world to distinguish themselves by registering for their own unique identifier. APS has been a long-time supporter of ORCID and, as one of the official Launch Partners, we have updated our author profile application so that authors may register their ORCID within our database of authors and referees. Widespread adoption of ORCID identifiers will improve the scholarly record and help researchers receive proper credit for all of their contributions.

October 9, 2012  The APS congratulates Serge Haroche and David WIneland for their 2012 Nobel Prize in Physics. They and their collaborators have made significant advances in the realization of quantum phenomena with many beautiful experiments. Their ability to manipulate atoms and photons to demonstrate fundamental aspects of quantum physics has been documented in many journal articles. We are very pleased that much of this seminal work has been published in the APS journals Physical Review Letters, Physical Review A, and Reviews of Modern Physics. To honor these laureates and their collaborators, we have made freely available five of their many APS publications that demonstrate some of the key insights of their pioneering work.

September 25, 2012  Congratulations to the winners of the 2012 Ig Nobel Prizes in Physics and Fluid Dynamics. Raymond E. Goldstein, Patrick B. Warren, and Robin C. Ball received a share of the Physics prize for their work on the shape and motion of human hair when bundled in a ponytail, Phys. Rev. Lett. 108, 078101 (2012). For additional information, see Ponytail Physics for a brief synopsis published in Physics. Rebecca Thompson, APS's Head of Public Outreach, wrote on the Physics Central blog about her attempt to duplicate the ponytail research. H.C. Mayer and R.

The emergence of explosive synchronization has been reported as an abrupt transition in complex networks of first-order Kuramoto oscillators. In this Letter we demonstrate that the nodes in a second-order Kuramoto model perform a cascade of transitions toward a synchronous macroscopic state, which i... [Phys. Rev.
