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.

Cells play tug-of-war to start moving collectively
Mon, 08/01/2024 - 00:00
Nature Physics, Published online: 08 January 2024; doi:10.1038/s41567-023-02314-x
Orderly or coherent multicellular flows are fundamental in biology, but their triggers are not understood. In epithelial tissues, the tug-of-war between cells is now shown to lead to intrinsic asymmetric distributions in cell polarities that drive such flows.

Spontaneous rotations in epithelia as an interplay between cell polarity and boundaries
Mon, 08/01/2024 - 00:00
Nature Physics, Published online: 08 January 2024; doi:10.1038/s41567-023-02295-x
Coherent motion of cells plays an important role in morphogenesis. Experiments with cellular rings, supported by numerical simulations, suggest that cell polarity and acto-myosin cables are important factors in the onset of coherence.
