Nature Physics
Nature Physics offers news and reviews alongside top-quality research papers in a monthly publication, covering the entire spectrum of physics. Physics addresses the properties and interactions of matter and energy, and plays a key role in the development of a broad range of technologies. To reflect this, Nature Physics covers all areas of pure and applied physics research. The journal focuses on core physics disciplines, but is also open to a broad range of topics whose central theme falls within the bounds of physics.

Computing in physics education
Nature Physics, Published online: 14 March 2024; doi:10.1038/s41567-023-02371-2
Computing is central to the enterprise of physics but few undergraduate physics courses include it in their curricula. Here we discuss why and how to integrate computing into physics education.

Racial equity in physics education research
Nature Physics, Published online: 14 March 2024; doi:10.1038/s41567-024-02424-0
Injustices and oppression are pervasive in society, including education. An intersectional, equity-oriented approach can help remove systemic obstacles and improve the experience of marginalized people in physics education through decolonial and critical race lenses.

Superconducting stripes induced by ferromagnetic proximity in an oxide heterostructure
Nature Physics, Published online: 11 March 2024; doi:10.1038/s41567-024-02443-x
Copper-based and iron-based compounds exhibit an interplay between magnetism and superconductivity. Now, this idea is extended to two-dimensional oxide heterostructures, where a spatially varying superconducting order is demonstrated at the EuO/KTaO3 interface.

Demonstration and imaging of cryogenic magneto-thermoelectric cooling in a van der Waals semimetal
Nature Physics, Published online: 08 March 2024; doi:10.1038/s41567-024-02417-z
Cooling efficiency in thermoelectric devices decreases considerably at lower temperatures. Now thermoelectric cooling at cryogenic temperatures is directly imaged in a van der Waals semimetal.

Topological lasing demonstrated in the mode-locked regime
Nature Physics, Published online: 07 March 2024; doi:10.1038/s41567-024-02421-3
The concept of temporal mode-locking has been leveraged to study the interplay between laser mode-locking and photonic lattices that exhibit non-Hermitian topological phenomena. The results suggest new opportunities to study nonlinear and non-Hermitian topological physics as well as potential applications to sensing, optical computing and frequency-comb design.

Terahertz magnon algebra
Nature Physics, Published online: 07 March 2024; doi:10.1038/s41567-024-02427-x
Excitation of magnons — quanta of spin-waves — in an antiferromagnet can be used for high-speed data processing. The addition and subtraction of two such modes opens up possibilities for magnon-based information transfer in the terahertz spectral region.

Efficient learning of many-body systems
Nature Physics, Published online: 06 March 2024; doi:10.1038/s41567-024-02393-4
The Hamiltonian describing a quantum many-body system can be learned using measurements in thermal equilibrium. Now, a learning algorithm applicable to many natural systems has been found that requires exponentially fewer measurements than existing methods.

Protecting entanglement between logical qubits via quantum error correction
Nature Physics, Published online: 06 March 2024; doi:10.1038/s41567-024-02446-8
Despite being essential to many applications in quantum science, entanglement can be easily disrupted by decoherence. A protocol based on repetitive quantum error correction now demonstrates enhanced coherence times of entangled logical qubits.
