In 1893 in Franklin Hall (now Olive Tjaden Hall), the Physical Review debuted as the inaugural publication of the American Physical Society (APS). The APS is celebrating the 125th anniversary of the Physical Review and has selected 50 “milestone” research papers spanning a wide range of important results. Fittingly, a few of those papers feature Cornell researchers.
