Launch of the APS PRX Intelligence Journal

This was published on March 23, 2026

The American Physical Society recently launched a new journal for AI and machine learning in the physical sciences called PRX Intelligence. Former MARVEL PI Anatole von Lilienfeld is the chief editor, MARVEL director Nicola Marzari is one of the deputy editors, and MARVEL deputy director Michele Ceriotti is one of the associated editors. At the APS Global Physics Summit in March, the editors shared their vision for this new journal in video interview "AI Meets Physics: Inside the New Journal PRX Intelligence".

Machine learning is rapidly transforming how physicists analyze data, model complex systems, and discover new phenomena. At the APS Global Physics Summit in March, the editors of PRX Intelligence, a new journal from the American Physical Society, introduced their vision for a publication dedicated to research at the intersection of physics, artificial intelligence, and machine learning. Editors Anatole von Lilienfeld, Kyle Welch, and Nicola Marzari explain why now is the moment for a journal like this — one designed to capture the growing role of AI in scientific discovery.

The video "AI Meets Physics: Inside the New Journal PRX Intelligence" also headed out onto the conference floor to ask researchers directly how they are actually using machine learning today. From data analysis to materials discovery, physicists share how AI is helping them push the boundaries of their work — and where they still think human intuition matters most.
