March and April followed with two focus issues on nuclear power and the future of particle accelerators while the May issue featured an article about the representation of women in physics.
The journal was launched to fill a gap in the physics literature. It champions a different approach to reviews having a strong focus on techniques and instrumentation, software and data analysis, and developing new article types. It aims to expand into areas in physics that are currently insufficiently covered in Nature journals, such as particle physics. It also includes highlights of conferences to keep the readership informed about latest developments.
