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.

- 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.
- Qubits inside junctions get joined upNature Physics, Published online: 03 October 2024; doi:10.1038/s41567-024-02639-1 Semiconductor spin qubits are usually highly localized, which makes it difficult to engineer long-range interactions. Two recent experiments demonstrate that adding superconductivity makes supercurrent-based long-range coupling possible.
- High-harmonic generation by a bright squeezed vacuumNature Physics, Published online: 02 October 2024; doi:10.1038/s41567-024-02659-x High-harmonic generation has so far been driven only by classical light. Now, its driving by a bright squeezed vacuum—a quantum state of light—has been observed and shown to be more efficient than using classical light.
- Controllable orbital angular momentum monopoles in chiral topological semimetalsNature Physics, Published online: 30 September 2024; doi:10.1038/s41567-024-02655-1 Chiral topological materials have been predicted to host orbital angular momentum monopoles, which can be useful for orbitronics applications. Now such monopoles have been imaged in chiral materials.
- Electromagnetic properties of indium isotopes illuminate the doubly magic character of <sup>100</sup>SnNature Physics, Published online: 30 September 2024; doi:10.1038/s41567-024-02612-y Precision laser spectroscopy of ground-state electromagnetic moments and nuclear charge radii of indium shows that 100Sn has closed proton and neutron shells. The results serve as a benchmark for future theoretical models.
- Control of dynamic orbital response in ferromagnets via crystal symmetryNature Physics, Published online: 27 September 2024; doi:10.1038/s41567-024-02648-0 Manipulation of the electron’s orbital contribution to transport experiments is important for potential orbitronics device applications. Now the long-range dynamic orbital response is shown to be controlled by the arrangement of atoms in ferromagnets.
- Dynamic traction force measurements of migrating immune cells in 3D biopolymer matricesNature Physics, Published online: 24 September 2024; doi:10.1038/s41567-024-02632-8 Immune cells are believed not to generate large traction forces during migration. Now, measurements of natural killer cells in dense tissue reveal bursts of large traction forces as they move through narrow pores.
