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.

- Onwards and upwardsNature Physics, Published online: 25 July 2024; doi:10.1038/s41567-024-02593-y Experiments show that the shape of a biofilm, not just its cell doubling time, significantly impacts its expansion rate. This insight could guide new strategies for controlling biofilm growth.
- Non-Hermitian dynamics and non-reciprocity of optically coupled nanoparticlesNature Physics, Published online: 25 July 2024; doi:10.1038/s41567-024-02589-8 The tuneable and nonlinear nature of the interactions between two optically levitated nanoparticles allows the observation of the system’s non-Hermitian dynamics and a mechanical lasing transition.
- Exponentially tighter bounds on limitations of quantum error mitigationNature Physics, Published online: 25 July 2024; doi:10.1038/s41567-024-02536-7 Error mitigation has helped improve the performance of current quantum computing devices. Now, a mathematical analysis of the technique suggests its benefits may not extend to larger systems.
- Collective motion of electrons captured at the atomic scaleNature Physics, Published online: 22 July 2024; doi:10.1038/s41567-024-02553-6 Many 2D or 1D materials feature fascinating collective behaviour of electrons that competes with highly localized interactions at atomic defects. By combining terahertz spectroscopy with scanning tunnelling microscopy, the ultrafast motion of these collective states can be captured with atomic spatial resolution, enabling the observation of electron dynamics at their intrinsic length and time scale.
- Transverse emittance reduction in muon beams by ionization coolingNature Physics, Published online: 17 July 2024; doi:10.1038/s41567-024-02547-4 Current muon beams have a phase-space volume that is too large for applications in muon colliders. Now, the reduction in the beam’s transverse emittance when passed through different absorbers in ionization cooling experiments is quantified.
- Cool as muonsNature Physics, Published online: 16 July 2024; doi:10.1038/s41567-024-02571-4 The volume of muon beams in position–momentum space is too large to be used in a collider. A clear reduction in this volume has now been demonstrated, which brings particle physics closer to a practical muon collider for exploring the energy frontier.
