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.

- The local mechanostructural properties of protein cargoes regulate nucleocytoplasmic transportNature Physics, Published online: 30 April 2026; doi:10.1038/s41567-026-03242-2 The mechanical stability of proteins affects their import into the nucleus. Now it is shown that protein transport in and out of the nucleus depends on the local mechanostability of the protein cargo.
- Tunable symmetry breaking in a hexagonal-stacked moiré magnetNature Physics, Published online: 29 April 2026; doi:10.1038/s41567-026-03275-7 Tuning symmetry breaking in magnetic transitions via twist-angle engineering is challenging, as twisted two-dimensional magnets often inherit the magnetic ground states of their constituent parts. Now this tunability is achieved in a double-bilayer moiré magnet.
- Scaling and self-similarity in the formation of the embryonic epigenomeNature Physics, Published online: 29 April 2026; doi:10.1038/s41567-026-03263-x During development, cells acquire their identity—a process that depends on epigenetic modifications such as methylation. Now, a statistical physics analysis of methylation helps explain embryonic symmetry breaking.
- Exceptional deficiency of non-Hermitian systemsNature Physics, Published online: 28 April 2026; doi:10.1038/s41567-026-03259-7 Exceptional points and their related phenomena are limited to a narrow bandwidth and require precise control to realize. Now a high-dimensional generalization of exceptional points is shown to enable broadband non-Hermitian dynamics.
- Field-induced superconductivity in a magnetically doped two-dimensional crystalNature Physics, Published online: 23 April 2026; doi:10.1038/s41567-026-03272-w Magnetic fields usually weaken superconductivity. By contrast, a material platform is demonstrated where applying a moderate field induces superconductivity.
- Planckian scattering and parallel conduction channels in an iron chalcogenide superconductorNature Physics, Published online: 23 April 2026; doi:10.1038/s41567-026-03266-8 The link between the strange metal with its linear-in-temperature resistivity and superconductivity is ambiguous. Now, a channel in the normal state whose scattering rate is linear in temperature is shown to drive superconductivity in FeTe1−xSex.
- Two-electron quantum walks for probing entanglement and decoherence in an electron microscopeNature Physics, Published online: 21 April 2026; doi:10.1038/s41567-026-03254-y Entanglement between particles offers insights into quantum behaviour, but methods for studying it in free-electron systems are lacking. Now a two-electron quantum walk is used to probe decoherence of free electrons inside an electron microscope.
- Laser-induced nucleation of magnetic hopfionsNature Physics, Published online: 21 April 2026; doi:10.1038/s41567-026-03236-0 The creation of stable and isolated magnetic hopfions—three-dimensional topological solitons—has remained experimentally challenging. Now the laser-induced nucleation of hopfions has been achieved in a chiral magnet.
