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.

  1. Average topological phase in a disordered Rydberg atom array
    Nature 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.

  2. Optical excitations reshape the spin-wave spectrum in antiferromagnets
    Nature Physics, Published online: 20 April 2026; doi:10.1038/s41567-026-03231-5 Charge-transfer excitations, which define the optical bandgap in many insulators, also contribute to magnetic exchange in antiferromagnets. Femtosecond optical pumping of these transitions in canted antiferromagnet DyFeO3 reshapes the spin-wave spectrum — the set of collective spin excitations that define the dynamics of the antiferromagnet — without destroying the long-range order.

  3. Inter-magnet pumping counters dissipation in artificial ferrimagnets
    Nature 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.

  4. Symmetry-guided catalogue of chiral phonon materials
    Nature 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.
