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.

- Symmetry-guided catalogue of chiral phonon materialsNature Physics, Published online: 17 April 2026; doi:10.1038/s41567-026-03260-0 Identifying and classifying chiral phonons has been challenging, limiting their use in quantum and thermal technologies. Now, a symmetry-based framework and database describe phonon chirality across space groups and reveal promising material candidates.
- Inter-magnet pumping counters dissipation in artificial ferrimagnetsNature Physics, Published online: 17 April 2026; doi:10.1038/s41567-026-03261-z Reducing dissipation when generating spin currents remains a central challenge in spintronics. Now, an artificial ferrimagnet is shown to produce spin current output and simultaneously lower magnetic damping.
- Loop-current order in kagome metalsNature Physics, Published online: 16 April 2026; doi:10.1038/s41567-026-03229-z Loop-current states represent a rare magnetic order driven by orbital motion, rather than by spin. This Perspective examines their symmetry, microscopic origins, detection challenges and interplay with other orders in kagome superconductors.
- Laser-focused on precisionNature Physics, Published online: 16 April 2026; doi:10.1038/s41567-026-03278-4 The advent of the laser transformed spectroscopy into a tool for precision measurements across scales, from nuclei to stars. In this Editorial we reflect on its far-reaching influence.
- The core questionNature Physics, Published online: 16 April 2026; doi:10.1038/s41567-026-03249-9 The core question
- Motorized paperclip learns functional reflexesNature Physics, Published online: 16 April 2026; doi:10.1038/s41567-026-03256-w A wire of motorized hinges learns, forgets, and relearns automatic responses on demand, uncovering the physical principles necessary to emulate autonomous learning of living matter.
- Rigorously undisciplinedNature Physics, Published online: 16 April 2026; doi:10.1038/s41567-026-03250-2 Rigorously undisciplined
- In pursuit of metrological diplomacyNature Physics, Published online: 16 April 2026; doi:10.1038/s41567-026-03240-4 International metrological decision-making processes are exceedingly complex. Shanay Rab and Richard Brown explain how it works.
