Highlights of 2006

I am delighted to present a special collection of the very best articles published in Reports on Progress in Physics during 2006. Articles were selected by the Editorial Board for their outstanding reviews of the field. These papers received the highest praise from our international referees and a high number of downloads from the journal website.

These 12 articles are only a small sample of the wide range of content in Reports on Progress in Physics which publishes across the whole of physics, covering:

  • astrophysics and cosmology
  • atomic, molecular and optical physics
  • condensed matter and materials
  • earth sciences
  • metrology
  • soft condensed matter and biological physics
  • nuclear physics
  • particle physics

Articles are designed to be accessible to specialists in other fields and form an ideal introduction to graduate students entering the subject.

Further journal information for readers, subscribers or authors can be found on the journal home page or you can e-mail the journal publishing team at rop@iop.org.
