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.

- Enhancing nanoscale charged colloid crystallization near a metastable liquid binodalNature Physics, Published online: 26 August 2025; doi:10.1038/s41567-025-02996-5 Controlling nanoscale colloidal crystallization is not straightforward. Such control is now achieved by leveraging a metastable liquid phase of charged nanocrystals.
- Invest in science education research to make science open to allNature Physics, Published online: 25 August 2025; doi:10.1038/s41567-025-03019-z Attacks on Diversity, Equity and Inclusion efforts expose the need for science education research.
- The actin cortex acts as a mechanical memory of morphology in confined migrating cellsNature Physics, Published online: 25 August 2025; doi:10.1038/s41567-025-02980-z Cells often navigate through confined spaces. Now it is shown that cells retain a mechanical memory of previous confinement events, which makes them more efficient at migrating through narrow microenvironments.
- Magnon-polarons in the Fermi–Hubbard modelNature Physics, Published online: 22 August 2025; doi:10.1038/s41567-025-03004-6 In strongly correlated systems, how magnetic excitations are renormalized by charge carriers remains an open question. An experiment now reports the observation of magnon-polarons—magnons dressed by doped holes—in a Fermi–Hubbard quantum simulator.
- Bloch oscillations of a soliton in a one-dimensional quantum fluidNature Physics, Published online: 22 August 2025; doi:10.1038/s41567-025-02970-1 Studies of Bloch oscillations in many-body systems remain limited due to their interaction-induced damping. Now, such oscillations have been observed in a solitonic wave packet of atoms in a Bose gas at the mesoscopic scale.
- Extended native gate sets to unlock the performance of quantum processorsNature Physics, Published online: 21 August 2025; doi:10.1038/s41567-025-02991-w Quantum operations are modelled as unitary matrices, yet experimental implementations have been restricted to only a few gate types. This fundamental limitation has now been overcome using a scheme that combines frequency control with microwave driving, enabling universal implementation of arbitrary two-qubit operations.
- Universal quantum gate set for Gottesman–Kitaev–Preskill logical qubitsNature Physics, Published online: 21 August 2025; doi:10.1038/s41567-025-03002-8 There are many quantum systems that act as high-quality quantum harmonic oscillators, and they can be used to store quantum information using the Gottesman–Kitaev–Preskill code. Entangling gates have now been demonstrated between two of these qubits.
- Quantum logic with bosonic error correctionNature Physics, Published online: 21 August 2025; doi:10.1038/s41567-025-03011-7 The most commonly pursued quantum error-correction schemes encode quantum information using multiple two-level qubits. Now, two logical qubits have been encoded in the infinite-dimensional bosonic motional degrees of freedom of a trapped ion.
