Relativistic electron beams are deflected and guided over curved paths by means of the magnetic field generated in a plasma-discharge capillary.
R. Pompili et al.
Phys. Rev. Lett. 132, 215001 (2024)
EDITORS' SUGGESTION
Observation of a heavy Fermi surface of charge-neutral spinons in BaNbRuO provides experimental evidence for a robust quantum spin liquid that features an extraordinarily large entropy and a linear heat capacity extending into the milli-Kelvin regime.
Hengdi Zhao et al.
Phys. Rev. Lett. 132, 226503 (2024)
EDITORS' SUGGESTION
Confining active nematics in cardioid-shaped wells leads to realization of the golden braid, a maximally efficient mixing state of exactly three defects with no defect creation or annihilation.
Fereshteh L. Memarian et al.
Phys. Rev. Lett. 132, 228301 (2024)
EDITORS' SUGGESTION
The newly constructed pseudomagic ensembles possess low nonstabilizerness but are computationally indistinguishable from those with high nonstabilizerness, having implications for quantum scramblers, quantum cryptography, and magic state distillation.
Andi Gu et al.
Phys. Rev. Lett. 132, 210602 (2024)
EDITORS' SUGGESTION
An explicit formula is provided for the fourth cumulant of an arbitrary single-file system.
Aurélien Grabsch and Olivier Bénichou
Phys. Rev. Lett. 132, 217101 (2024)
EDITORS' SUGGESTION
A universal scaling law shows that thermalization can be universally achieved in sufficiently large two- and three-dimensional lattices via weak nonlinear interactions.
Zhen Wang, Weicheng Fu, Yong Zhang, and Hong Zhao

EDITORS' SUGGESTION
The ratio of inclusive semileptonic meson decays into versus other leptons is in agreement with lepton universality.
I. Adachi et al. (Belle II Collaboration)
Phys. Rev. Lett. 132, 211804 (2024)
EDITORS' SUGGESTION
Reminiscent of multiscale flow patterns in turbulence, mesoscale flows and chaotic advection can develop in dense active suspensions resulting from a competition between crowding effects and propulsion.
Yann-Edwin Keta, Juliane U. Klamser, Robert L. Jack, and Ludovic Berthier
Phys. Rev. Lett. 132, 218301 (2024)
EDITORS' SUGGESTION
A class of strongly coupled two-level systems is revealed in experiments with compact microwave resonators fabricated from granular aluminum thin films.
