Looking back at the past year, the Nobel Prize in Physics was once again awarded to important research in cosmology: we are happy to announce that laureate James Peebles is an author of Annalen der Physik. His article "Evanescent matter" was part of our highly successful special issue "Dark Matter", guest-edited by our Advisory Board member Matthias Bartelmann and by Volker Springer, back in 2012. The other half of the prize was awarded to Michel Mayor and Didier Queloz for exoplanet discovery. Both are Wiley authors as well, with publications in our sister journal Astronomical Notes/Astronomische Nachrichten. Congratulations to the laureates for their honors and achievements! Another highlight of 2019 was certainly the "Revised SI", the new International System of Units, that came into effect on World Metrology Day, 20 May. Just in time for this event, Annalen der Physik published a special issue on "Fundamental Constants, Basic Physics and Units" together with our Guest Editors Klaus Blaum (Advisory Board member), Dmitry Budker, Andrey Surzhykov, and Joachim Ullrich (President of the National Metrology Institute of Germany PTB, whose support is gratefully acknowledged). In this special issue you may find an overview article on the revised SI, 7 Review Articles on each of the fundamental constants/units, and further Review/Feature Articles, as well as original research in this field, including recent progress in high-precision measurements.Speaking of special issues, our publications "Physics of Information" (Eds. Torsten Enßlin, Jens Jasche, and John Skilling) and "Advances in Physics of Semiconductors" (eds. Sandra Ruffenach and Maria Tcherncheva, to be continued by another edition of invited ICPS contributions in 2021) are also worthwhile mentioning. Now what's in store for Annalen der Physik in the New Year? Already in the next issue, we are going to present a new special issue on "Dynamic Quantum Matter"
