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.

- Ultracold atoms pushed to the edgeNature Physics, Published online: 19 September 2024; doi:10.1038/s41567-024-02657-z Topological insulators exhibit unidirectional flow of robust electric charge at the edge of the system. Two recent experiments have observed these chiral edge modes in exceptionally controllable settings of ultracold atoms.
- Intertwined vestigial orders in stacked magnetic flatlandsNature Physics, Published online: 18 September 2024; doi:10.1038/s41567-024-02634-6 Dimensionality tuning can control fluctuations and induce complex phase diagrams with multiple orders and transitions among them. Now, experiments demonstrate intertwined vestigial order in the two- to three-dimensional crossover region in a van der Waals magnet.
- A general theory of quantum codes connecting quantum computation, complexity and physicsNature Physics, Published online: 18 September 2024; doi:10.1038/s41567-024-02622-w Approximate notions of quantum error-correcting codes hold wide importance across quantum information and physics, but are not cohesively understood. Now, general rigorous connections established between approximate quantum error correction and quantum circuit complexity reveal a ‘complexity phase diagram’ for generalized quantum codes — and create a new unifying lens on complex quantum systems.
- Propagation of insulator-to-metal transition driven by photoinduced strain waves in a Mott materialNature Physics, Published online: 17 September 2024; doi:10.1038/s41567-024-02628-4 The mechanism behind the ultrafast insulator-to-metal transition in Mott materials is still not well understood. Now, it is shown that this phase transition propagates along the pathway of a photoinduced compressive strain wave in prototypical V2O3.
- Probing inhomogeneous cuprate superconductivity by terahertz Josephson echo spectroscopyNature Physics, Published online: 16 September 2024; doi:10.1038/s41567-024-02643-5 By measuring terahertz photon echoes, multidimensional spectroscopy demonstrates that interlayer tunnelling in a cuprate superconductor remains largely unaffected by electronic disorder, even near the phase transition.
- The many faces of foamsNature Physics, Published online: 12 September 2024; doi:10.1038/s41567-024-02650-6 The many faces of foams
- Wiggles in the shadeNature Physics, Published online: 12 September 2024; doi:10.1038/s41567-024-02649-z Wiggles in the shade
- Photon gas crosses dimensionsNature Physics, Published online: 12 September 2024; doi:10.1038/s41567-024-02642-6 The collective behaviour of quantum gases strongly depends on the confining dimensionality. Its role in the emergence of a phase transition in a quantum gas of photons has now been explored using a new trapping technique, transitioning from 2D to 1D.
