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.

- Emergent actin flows explain distinct modes of gliding motilityNature Physics, Published online: 08 October 2024; doi:10.1038/s41567-024-02652-4 Unicellular parasites, such as Toxoplasma gondii, can use different forms of gliding motions when infecting a host. These motility modes arise from the self-organizing properties of filamentous actin flow at the surface of these parasitic cells.

- 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.
