Physics Review Letters Reaches Half Century

In July 1958, the journal Physics Review Letters was founded, when editor Sam Goudsmit decided to begin collecting the Letters to the Editor of Physics Review into their own journal. This format provides rapid access to publication of new findings. Physics Review Letters is ramping up a number of 50th anniversary features on their website. One of the features they have is a milestone letters listing, which offers many of the letters which have gained prominence over the years, including those that ultimately led to Nobel Prizes!
