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.

- Diffraction minima resolve point scatterers at few hundredths of the wavelengthNature Physics, Published online: 21 February 2025; doi:10.1038/s41567-024-02760-1 The central maximum of a diffraction pattern is commonly used to resolve point-like scatterers. Now spatial resolution far below the diffraction limit is achieved by using the scattering minima.
- Topology shapes dynamics of higher-order networksNature Physics, Published online: 19 February 2025; doi:10.1038/s41567-024-02757-w Higher-order interactions reveal new aspects of the interplay between topology and dynamics in complex systems. This Perspective describes the emerging field of higher-order topological dynamics and discusses the open research questions in the area.
- Universal dissipative dynamics in strongly correlated quantum gasesNature Physics, Published online: 19 February 2025; doi:10.1038/s41567-025-02800-4 Although traditionally considered an obstacle to the study of quantum effects, dissipation has now been shown to enable the measurement of strong quantum fluctuations in one-dimensional atomic gases.
- Wideband electric field quantum sensing via motional Raman transitionsNature Physics, Published online: 18 February 2025; doi:10.1038/s41567-024-02753-0 The narrow frequency response of quantum harmonic oscillators typically limits their application in radiofrequency electric field detection. Now motional Raman transitions in trapped ions are shown to enable wideband, high-precision radiofrequency field sensing.
- Author Correction: Magnetic flux trapping in hydrogen-rich high-temperature superconductorsNature Physics, Published online: 18 February 2025; doi:10.1038/s41567-025-02823-x Author Correction: Magnetic flux trapping in hydrogen-rich high-temperature superconductors
- Local minima in quantum systemsNature Physics, Published online: 18 February 2025; doi:10.1038/s41567-025-02781-4 In general, it is difficult to identify the global energy minimum of a many-body system. Now, it has been shown that finding even local minima is difficult classically but efficiently achievable with a quantum computer.
- Author Correction: Incommensurability enabled quasi-fractal order in 1D narrow-band moiré systemsNature Physics, Published online: 17 February 2025; doi:10.1038/s41567-025-02824-w Author Correction: Incommensurability enabled quasi-fractal order in 1D narrow-band moiré systems
- Pressure-enhanced splitting of density wave transitions in La<sub>3</sub>Ni<sub>2</sub>O<sub>7–<i>δ</i></sub>Nature Physics, Published online: 17 February 2025; doi:10.1038/s41567-024-02754-z The density wave transition in a superconducting nickelate is shown to split when hydrostatic pressure is applied, indicating that it is composed of both a spin density wave and another form of ordered state.
