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.

- Precision meets portabilityNature Physics, Published online: 15 May 2026; doi:10.1038/s41567-026-03313-4 Precision meets portability
- Taking snapshots of spin–valley modes in a moiré superlatticeNature Physics, Published online: 14 May 2026; doi:10.1038/s41567-026-03295-3 An ultrafast imaging technique captured the propagation of charge-decoupled excitations in twisted bilayer WSe2. Two spin–valley modes with distinct propagation behaviours were revealed, consistent with the phase and amplitude modes of a spin–valley superfluid.
- Observation of angular momentum transfer among crystal lattice modesNature Physics, Published online: 12 May 2026; doi:10.1038/s41567-026-03274-8 How angular momentum is exchanged and conserved among lattice modes has been difficult to measure experimentally, but has now been observed via a coherent three-phonon scattering process in a topological insulator.
- Laser mode braiding on a chipNature Physics, Published online: 12 May 2026; doi:10.1038/s41567-026-03288-2 Non-Hermitian systems support non-trivial topological effects, yet eigenvalue braiding remains difficult to control and observe. Now, active tuning of laser modes enables programmable and directly observable braiding on an integrated photonic chip.
- Higher-order harmonics in Josephson tunnel junctions due to series inductanceNature Physics, Published online: 12 May 2026; doi:10.1038/s41567-026-03285-5 Deviations from the textbook current–phase relationship of a Josephson junction can arise from the intrinsic physics of the junction, but also from the inductance of metallic traces. Now a scheme has been developed to distinguish these cases.
- Preserved rotations in solidsNature Physics, Published online: 12 May 2026; doi:10.1038/s41567-026-03248-w A seemingly still crystal is alive with synchronized atomic motions. Now, angular momentum has been observed flowing coherently between distinct lattice vibrational modes, revealing a hidden propagation of rotational features inside the crystal.
- Correlated insulator in the kagome flat band of a two-dimensional electrostatic crystalNature Physics, Published online: 11 May 2026; doi:10.1038/s41567-026-03291-7 A tunable artificial crystal in a shallow GaAs quantum well is shown to enable interaction-driven insulating behaviour. Electrostatic control tunes the band structure from graphene-like to kagome-like bands.
