RSS 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.

- From electronic clovers to emergent quantum matterNature Physics, Published online: 22 July 2026; doi:10.1038/s41567-026-03374-5 The first holes doped into a cuprate create atomic-scale electronic states that combine into larger motifs, offering a bottom-up view of the emergence of charge order and superconducting phenomena.
- Capturing the first moments after high-energy molecular impactNature Physics, Published online: 22 July 2026; doi:10.1038/s41567-026-03361-w When high-energy particles, such as photons, electrons or ions, collide with a molecule, the collision kicks off processes that occur within the first femtoseconds after impact. Quantum mechanical motion of electrons bound to the molecule, which ultimately breaks chemical bonds, has now been captured using an attosecond X-ray free-electron laser.
- A magnetic impurity sets off ripples in a kagome superconductorNature Physics, Published online: 22 July 2026; doi:10.1038/s41567-026-03372-7 The role of magnetic impurities in shaping superconductivity and electronic order in kagome metals remains unresolved. Now, a study reveals anisotropic Kondo resonances intertwined with the superconducting gap in a magnetically doped kagome superconductor.
- Observation of superconductivity-induced leading-edge gap in a bilayer nickelateNature Physics, Published online: 21 July 2026; doi:10.1038/s41567-026-03396-z Superconductivity has been demonstrated in La3Ni2O7, and now the structure of the superconducting gap is observed. The Fermi surface is shown to derive mainly from the $${d}_{{x}^{2}-{y}^{2}}$$ d x 2 − y 2 bands, with minimal involvement from the $${d}_{{z}^{2}}$$ d z 2 band.
- Electron orbitals choose a directionNature Physics, Published online: 21 July 2026; doi:10.1038/s41567-026-03358-5 Orbital order is difficult to isolate because it often intertwines with lattice and magnetic transitions. Now, a study on an intermetallic compound reveals a surface 5d-orbital order through its electronic band structure and real-space fingerprints.
- Attosecond response of molecules to impulsive ionizationNature Physics, Published online: 20 July 2026; doi:10.1038/s41567-026-03360-x Impulsive ionization initiates ultrafast electron motion in molecules, but its early dynamics remain difficult to probe. Now attosecond X-ray absorption spectroscopy has been used to track the response dynamics of ionized para-aminophenol.
- All-mechanical coherence protection and fast control of a spin qubitNature Physics, Published online: 15 July 2026; doi:10.1038/s41567-026-03369-2 Silicon–vacancy spins can be used in phononic quantum devices, but improvements in coherence times are still required. It has now been shown that the spin coherence can be protected by continuous driving using acoustic waves.
- A thin route to orderNature Physics, Published online: 13 July 2026; doi:10.1038/s41567-026-03367-4 A thin route to order
