Purpose-led Publishing is a coalition of three not-for-profit publishers in the field of physical sciences: AIP Publishing, the American Physical Society and IOP Publishing.
Together, as publishers that will always put purpose above profit, we have defined a set of industry standards that underpin high-quality, ethical scholarly communications.
We are proudly declaring that science is our only shareholder.

The gravitational wave interferometer Virgo is presently in its commissioning phase. The status of the detector will be presented, focusing attention on the results obtained during this last year of commissioning activity, running the interferometer in the recombined configuration (a Michelson interferometer with Fabry–Perot cavities in both the arms) and finally recycling the light beam into the interferometer.
