- Resonant chiral dressing by amplitude fluctuations in a ferroaxial electronic crystalNature Physics, Published online: 01 May 2026; doi:10.1038/s41567-026-03241-3 Symmetry rules usually prevent interactions between distinct vibrational modes. Now it is shown that charge order fluctuations can mix modes, enhancing the chiral lattice response in a ferroaxial electronic crystal.
- Squeezing, trisqueezing and quadsqueezing in a hybrid oscillator–spin systemNature Physics, Published online: 01 May 2026; doi:10.1038/s41567-026-03222-6 Higher-order interactions in quantum harmonic oscillator systems can result in useful effects, but they are hard to engineer. An experiment on a single trapped ion now demonstrates how spin can mediate higher-order nonlinear bosonic interactions.
- Coherence of a hole-spin flopping-mode qubit in a circuit quantum electrodynamics environmentNature Physics, Published online: 01 May 2026; doi:10.1038/s41567-026-03262-y Coupling semiconductor qubit devices to microwave resonators provides a way to transfer quantum information over long distances. A flopping-mode qubit that combines strong coupling to photons with good coherence properties has now been demonstrated.
- 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.
