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.

- Altermagnetic spintronicsNature Physics, Published online: 06 July 2026; doi:10.1038/s41567-026-03337-w Altermagnetism, a recently identified unconventional magnetic order, might enable fast and efficient spin-based devices. This Review explores its interplay with ferroelectric and superconducting systems and its promise for scalable spintronics.
- When atoms tunnel as oneNature Physics, Published online: 06 July 2026; doi:10.1038/s41567-026-03366-5 By making atoms tunnel together as a bound cluster, researchers have generated massive Schrödinger cat states, opening new routes toward tests of gravity in the quantum regime.
- Fast thermalization with quantum algorithmsNature Physics, Published online: 03 July 2026; doi:10.1038/s41567-026-03357-6 Quantum algorithms excel at simulating Hamiltonian dynamics, but they struggle with preparing the thermal equilibrium states needed for quantum simulation. Now it has been shown that a recent algorithm can efficiently prepare an important class of thermal states.
- Author Correction: Observation of optical de Broglie–Mackinnon wave packetsNature Physics, Published online: 02 July 2026; doi:10.1038/s41567-026-03368-3 Author Correction: Observation of optical de Broglie–Mackinnon wave packets
- Tangled up in spinNature Physics, Published online: 01 July 2026; doi:10.1038/s41567-026-03364-7 Neutron scattering measurements on a strongly correlated metal show hints of quantum entanglement in the strange metal state.
- Real-space imaging of the electron-pair density hole in molecular Auger–Meitner decayNature Physics, Published online: 30 June 2026; doi:10.1038/s41567-026-03363-8 Localized core vacancies in molecules decay via an Auger–Meitner cascade to form diffuse valence holes. X-ray scattering is now used to measure the change in the electron-pair density, resolving the spatial redistribution of electrons.
- Tricky tensionNature Physics, Published online: 30 June 2026; doi:10.1038/s41567-026-03345-w The microscopic origin of line tension, used in the equilibrium description of liquid drops on flat surfaces, is not well understood. Simulations of water nanodroplets show that structural transitions affect the sign and the magnitude of line tension and therefore wetting behaviour.
- Magnon fluctuations find a structureNature Physics, Published online: 30 June 2026; doi:10.1038/s41567-026-03354-9 Thermal magnon fluctuations can be selectively redistributed through a process known as squeezing, a phenomenon now observed in magnetic insulators driven into a non-equilibrium state.
