Editorial: A Tale of Two Anniversaries: 125 Years of the Physical Review and 25 Years of Physical Review E

摘要

In July 1893, Ernest F. Nichols, then a professor of physics at Colgate University and later president of Dartmouth College and MIT, published an account of fundamental research in spectroscopy entitled "A Study of the Transmission Spectra of Certain Substances in the Infra-Red." The paper, which appeared 125 years ago this year was the first ever to be published in The Physical Review [E. F. Nichols, Phys. Rev. 1 (1893) 1].
