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.

- Many-foot dynamics
- The accidents of growthNature Physics, Published online: 13 February 2026; doi:10.1038/s41567-026-03180-z The accidents of growth
- Structure by exclusionNature Physics, Published online: 13 February 2026; doi:10.1038/s41567-026-03206-6 One hundred years ago, Enrico Fermi and Paul Dirac worked out how fermions distribute across the quantum states available to them. Their intuition laid the statistical foundation for the study of systems ranging from solids to white dwarfs.
- Quantum metrology for human healthNature Physics, Published online: 13 February 2026; doi:10.1038/s41567-026-03168-9 Quantum technologies could be transformative for healthcare. Alex Jones, Ian Gilmore and Peter Knight discuss the role of metrology in the adoption of these technologies.
- The paper trail of nuclear strategyNature Physics, Published online: 13 February 2026; doi:10.1038/s41567-025-03153-8 The paper trail of nuclear strategy
- High-order virtual gain for optical loss compensation in plasmonic metamaterialsNature Physics, Published online: 11 February 2026; doi:10.1038/s41567-026-03171-0 Complex-frequency waves compensate for optical losses, but their efficacy is limited in systems with extreme losses. Now, high-order virtual gain excitations have been shown to preserve loss compensation efficiency in plasmonic resonance systems.
- Kelvin wave propagation along vortex coresNature Physics, Published online: 10 February 2026; doi:10.1038/s41567-026-03175-w Kelvin waves are elementary excitations of vortex lines, manifesting as propagating helical disturbances in rotational flows. Through spatiotemporal imaging, experimental verification of their dispersion relation has now been achieved.
- Non-equilibrium entropy production and information dissipation in a non-Markovian quantum dotNature Physics, Published online: 09 February 2026; doi:10.1038/s41567-026-03177-8 Experimentally assessing entropy production in nanosystems is challenging. Now, the dissipation is visualized in a time-dependently driven non-Markovian quantum-dot blinking process in real time.
