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.

- Floquet topological state induced by light-driven band inversion in SnTeNature Physics, Published online: 25 June 2026; doi:10.1038/s41567-026-03341-0 Floquet engineering could, in principle, induce a topological phase in semiconductors, but clear evidence has been lacking. Now it is shown in SnTe that femtosecond light pulses briefly create a topological state that is absent at equilibrium.
- Anomalous crossover from three-dimensional Heisenberg to two-dimensional Ising magnetism in a van der Waals magnetNature Physics, Published online: 25 June 2026; doi:10.1038/s41567-026-03356-7 Long-range magnetic order in low-dimensional systems depends on dimensionality and magnetic anisotropy. Now self-intercalation has been shown to tune a crossover from 3D Heisenberg to 2D Ising ferromagnetism in Fe3GeTe2.
- Angular momentum of rotating fermionic superfluids by Sagnac phonon interferometryNature Physics, Published online: 25 June 2026; doi:10.1038/s41567-026-03349-6 Direct measurements linking fermionic pairing to macroscopic superflow have now been achieved across the BEC–BCS crossover using a Sagnac-like phonon interferometer to measure the quantum of angular momentum per particle.
- Hidden loop currents in a kagome metalNature Physics, Published online: 25 June 2026; doi:10.1038/s41567-026-03343-y Measurements made using nuclear quadrupole resonance and nuclear magnetic resonance have revealed tiny internal magnetic fields in a kagome metal. These fields are microscopic evidence of a hidden electronic order characterized by spontaneous atomic-scale current loops, and consistent with an imaginary charge-density wave.
- Unconditional advantage of quantum teleportation over direct transmission of single photons through a lossy channelNature Physics, Published online: 23 June 2026; doi:10.1038/s41567-026-03348-7 Shared quantum entanglement can be used to transfer quantum states from one location to another. An experiment has now demonstrated this transfer with higher efficiency than directly sending single photons through a lossy channel.
- The relative effectiveness of active learning methodsNature Physics, Published online: 23 June 2026; doi:10.1038/s41567-026-03330-3 In recent years, many active learning methods have entered introductory physics classrooms, but their comparative effectiveness is unclear. Now a multi-institutional study examines the relative impact of four well-established active learning methods.
- The physical consequences of sperm gigantismNature Physics, Published online: 22 June 2026; doi:10.1038/s41567-026-03305-4 Fruit fly sperm is substantially longer than the sac in which it is stored. It is now shown that reciprocal pushing between thousands of sperm maintains them in a motile and unentangled state in the sac.
- Emergent partons in fractional quantum Hall systemsNature Physics, Published online: 22 June 2026; doi:10.1038/s41567-026-03338-9 In a geometrical theory for the fractional quantum Hall effect, chiral spin-2 neutral excitations arise. Now, multiple such excitations are observed and provide evidence for the parton description of the quantum Hall effect.
