Reviews of Modern Physics (RMP) is the world’s premier physics review journal and the most highly cited Physical Review publication. Written by leading international researchers, RMP’s in-depth essays provide outstanding coverage of a topic and give context and background for current research trends. Since 1929, RMP has provided an unrivaled venue for authoritative review papers in all fields of physics. RMP publishes two types of essay, Reviews and Colloquia. Review articles present the current status of a given topic, with historical background, a critical distillation of research progress, and a summary of possible future developments. Colloquia communicate results at the frontiers of physics, which may impact several subfields. RMP also publishes Nobel Lectures, text of the addresses given in conjunction with the awards.
