Overview
Scilight
Scilights showcase the most interesting research across the physical sciences published in AIP Publishing Journals.
A Scilight, a science highlight, briefly summarizes newly published research, emphasizing its significance to a particular field. Scilights are written to ‘intrigue’ a broad scientific audience showcasing what is new and important in the latest research.
Each Scilight is written by professional science writer and is published simultaneously with the ‘parent’ research article. Every article featured in Scilights is selected by AIP Publishing’s journal editors.
Scilight is published weekly (52 issues per year) by AIP Publishing.
eISSN: 2572-7907
