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.

- Incommensurability enabled quasi-fractal order in 1D narrow-band moiré systemsNature Physics, Published online: 11 October 2024; doi:10.1038/s41567-024-02662-2 An incommensurate moiré pattern in a one-dimensional system is numerically shown to produce a quasi-fractal charge density wave ground state that originates from a parent multifractal critical phase.
- Strain tuning of vestigial three-state Potts nematicity in a correlated antiferromagnetNature Physics, Published online: 10 October 2024; doi:10.1038/s41567-024-02653-3 Correlated materials can show nematicity, but the nematic state usually exhibits even-fold rotational symmetry. Now, a correlated antiferromagnet is shown to host a three-state Potts vestigial nematicity that can be controlled by external strain.
- Ultrafast high-harmonic spectroscopy of solidsNature Physics, Published online: 10 October 2024; doi:10.1038/s41567-024-02640-8 High-harmonic spectroscopy on solids is an ultrafast all-optical technique to study the structure and dynamics of materials. This Review discusses areas of condensed-matter physics where this technique can provide particular insight.
- Chirality and topology team up to produce orbital monopoleNature Physics, Published online: 09 October 2024; doi:10.1038/s41567-024-02658-y Electrons in a chiral topological material exhibit a unique orbital angular momentum profile in momentum space that resembles magnetic monopoles. It gives an opportunity to utilize the orbital motion of electrons for information processing — so-called orbitronics.
- Author Correction: Intervalley coherence and intrinsic spin–orbit coupling in rhombohedral trilayer grapheneNature Physics, Published online: 08 October 2024; doi:10.1038/s41567-024-02689-5 Author Correction: Intervalley coherence and intrinsic spin–orbit coupling in rhombohedral trilayer graphene
- Emergent actin flows explain distinct modes of gliding motilityNature Physics, Published online: 08 October 2024; doi:10.1038/s41567-024-02652-4 Unicellular parasites, such as Toxoplasma gondii, can use different forms of gliding motions when infecting a host. These motility modes arise from the self-organizing properties of filamentous actin flow at the surface of these parasitic cells.
- Self-propulsion, flocking and chiral active phases from particles spinning at intermediate Reynolds numbersNature Physics, Published online: 08 October 2024; doi:10.1038/s41567-024-02651-5 A particle rotating in a fluid generates vorticity around itself. Now the dynamics of a collective of such spinners suspended in a liquid is shown to display flocking and three-dimensional active chirality.
- Photon-mediated long-range coupling of two Andreev pair qubitsNature Physics, Published online: 03 October 2024; doi:10.1038/s41567-024-02630-w Qubits formed from Andreev bound states in a Josephson junction could have performance advantages over existing superconducting qubits. Here proof-of-principle experiments demonstrate long-range coupling between Andreev-level qubits.
