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.

- Average topological phase in a disordered Rydberg atom arrayNature Physics, Published online: 20 April 2026; doi:10.1038/s41567-026-03271-x In addition to strongly protected topological phases that rely on exact symmetries, theory predicts that disorder can stabilize weakly protected phases in mixed quantum states, and an example of the latter is now observed in a Rydberg atom array.
- 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.
- 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.
- 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.
- 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.
