Landmarks: New APS Series Highlights Top Physics Papers from the Past Century (February 20, 2004)

The American Physical Society announces a new series of stories describing groundbreaking results in the history of physics. The stories explain in lay language selected papers from APS's online archive of physics research, which extends back to the first issue of the Physical Review in 1893. The occasional series, called "Landmarks," appears on the Physical Review Focus web site, http://focus.aps.org, with the first installment published 20 February 2004. (Find all Landmarks stories by typing "Landmarks" into the search box.) The Focus site is a free service from APS and primarily describes recently published results.
