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.

- Superconductivity from dual-surface carriers in rhombohedral grapheneNature Physics, Published online: 05 June 2026; doi:10.1038/s41567-026-03277-5 Two different types of medium-thickness rhombohedral graphene are shown to exhibit multiple superconducting states. These states arise from wavefunctions that are localized mainly on their two outer layers.
- Soft-X-ray momentum microscopy of nonlinear magnon interactionsNature Physics, Published online: 05 June 2026; doi:10.1038/s41567-026-03318-z Short-wavelength magnons and their couplings are difficult to detect, limiting studies of nanoscale spin dynamics. Now a method using soft X-rays to image magnon momentum captures their nonlinear interactions with nanometre-scale sensitivity.
- Superconductivity on two surfacesNature Physics, Published online: 05 June 2026; doi:10.1038/s41567-026-03290-8 In rhombohedral multilayer graphene, superconductivity emerges from an unusual normal state in which electrons and holes reside on opposite surfaces of the crystal.
- Evidence for the generic existence of two local structures in liquid waterNature Physics, Published online: 04 June 2026; doi:10.1038/s41567-026-03301-8 A two-state regime in deeply undercooled water has long been predicted. Now the existence of two local structures that undergo interconvertible reactions is suggested by simulations, corroborating the two-state picture.
- Scaling matters of cell fateNature Physics, Published online: 04 June 2026; doi:10.1038/s41567-026-03327-y DNA methylation regulates cell differentiation. It is now shown that methylation dynamics in the early embryo follow a universal scaling law, suggesting that physical constraints rather than molecular specifics shape cell fate.
- Suppression of coherent light scattering in a three-dimensional atomic arrayNature Physics, Published online: 02 June 2026; doi:10.1038/s41567-026-03300-9 Periodic atomic arrays can modify collective light scattering, but most studies have focused on one- and two-dimensional systems. Now experiments with a three-dimensional array show strong omnidirectional suppression of coherent light scattering.
- Adhesion-driven rigidity transition decoupled from density-driven jamming triggers epithelial organization in embryonic tissuesNature Physics, Published online: 02 June 2026; doi:10.1038/s41567-026-03276-6 Tissue phase transitions are key to morphogenesis. Now adhesion-driven rigidification is identified as key to epithelial organization but only if uncoupled from density-driven jamming.
- Decoupling adhesion from jamming in phase transitions drives tissue organizationNature Physics, Published online: 02 June 2026; doi:10.1038/s41567-026-03282-8 Phase transitions in cellular collectives are triggered by multiple control parameters. Independently tuning cell density and adhesion, both in silico and in vivo, reveals that adhesion dictates the tissue material state. Adhesion-driven solidification in unjammed pluripotent tissues is shown to drive epithelial organization — uncovering that phase transitions direct developmental programmes.
