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.

- Fast optical control of a coherent hole spin in a microcavityNature Physics, Published online: 07 August 2025; doi:10.1038/s41567-025-02988-5 Spin–photon interfaces provide a connection between quantum information stored in atomic or electronic spins and optical communications networks. A quantum photon emitter with long-lived, controllable coherent spin has now been demonstrated.
- Frustrated electron hopping from the orbital configuration in a two-dimensional latticeNature Physics, Published online: 07 August 2025; doi:10.1038/s41567-025-02953-2 Electron hopping in geometrically frustrated lattices can result in a rich variety of unusual behaviours. Now, the orbital arrangement in a van der Waals metal with a non-frustrated, primitive lattice is found to show similar effects.
- High-purity quantum optomechanics at room temperatureNature Physics, Published online: 06 August 2025; doi:10.1038/s41567-025-02976-9 Observing quantum effects in a mechanical oscillator requires it to be close to a pure quantum state, rather than a thermal mixture. Here a librational mode of a levitated nanoparticle is cooled close to its ground state without using cryogenics.
- Twisted topology visualized in real spaceNature Physics, Published online: 06 August 2025; doi:10.1038/s41567-025-02963-0 Microscopic details of the interplay between correlated electron states and topology are visualized in twisted transition metal dichalcogenide bilayers using scanning tunnelling microscopy and spectroscopy.
- Author Correction: High-efficiency optical training of itinerant two-dimensional magnetsNature Physics, Published online: 04 August 2025; doi:10.1038/s41567-025-03013-5 Author Correction: High-efficiency optical training of itinerant two-dimensional magnets
- Control of collective activity to crystallize an oscillator gasNature Physics, Published online: 04 August 2025; doi:10.1038/s41567-025-02957-y In active matter systems, increasing density usually reduces activity. Now, in a system where density enhances activity, collective motion is shown to arise from non-motile oscillators when they are confined.
- Predicting topological entanglement entropy in a Rydberg analogue simulatorNature Physics, Published online: 28 July 2025; doi:10.1038/s41567-025-02944-3 A numerical approach capable of simulating large-scale Rydberg atom quantum systems suggests that protocols for preparing topological states can produce experimental signatures of these states without reaching a topological phase.
- Capillary interactions drive the self-organization of bacterial coloniesNature Physics, Published online: 28 July 2025; doi:10.1038/s41567-025-02965-y Bacteria tend to live in thin layers of water on surfaces. Now the capillary forces in these layers are shown to help organize the bacteria into dense packs.
