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.

- Nature Physics, Published online: 10 December 2024; doi:10.1038/s41567-024-02710-x When it comes to baking recipes, the quantities of ingredients are one of the pillars of success. Karen Mudryk explores the intricacies of measurements in the kitchen.
- Nature Physics, Published online: 09 December 2024; doi:10.1038/s41567-024-02706-7 In a device comprising two double quantum dots separated by a 250-μm-long superconducting resonator, virtual photons in the resonator are shown to mediate the coupling of electron spins between the quantum dots. When the spin–spin coupling is activated for a controlled duration, oscillations between the spins are observed.
- Nature Physics, Published online: 09 December 2024; doi:10.1038/s41567-024-02694-8 Coupling semiconductor spin qubits over long distances using a superconducting resonator makes different quantum architectures possible. Now, the coherent swapping of quantum states has been observed between qubits coupled using this design.
- Nature Physics, Published online: 09 December 2024; doi:10.1038/s41567-024-02679-7 The strange-metal state that develops close to a quantum critical point in strongly correlated electron systems is not well understood. This Review summarizes how the notion of Kondo destruction can describe much of the experimental phenomenology.
- Nature Physics, Published online: 05 December 2024; doi:10.1038/s41567-024-02692-w Measurements of the spin susceptibility in a model cuprate reveal the presence of two distinct gaps underlying the pseudogap behaviour. One gap is attributed to charge density waves and the other to the predicted formation of spin singlets.
- Nature Physics, Published online: 02 December 2024; doi:10.1038/s41567-024-02695-7 Josephson junctions are expected to transition from superconducting to insulating behaviour depending on the impedance of their environment. This Schmid–Bulgadaev transition has now been observed by probing the effect of a junction on its environment.
- Nature Physics, Published online: 27 November 2024; doi:10.1038/s41567-024-02703-w Tracking ultrafast electronic changes in molecules is challenging, especially in liquids. An X-ray spectroscopy study in pyrazine now shows electronic dynamics created at conical intersections that are rapidly suppressed when the molecule is in water.
