Islands of inversions are regions of the nuclear chart where deformed configurations are energetically favoured over spherical ones. Now experiments show that 62Cr assumes different shapes with excitation energy, which is a signature of such islands.

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 universal quench dynamics in randomly interacting spin modelsNature Physics, Published online: 14 October 2024; doi:10.1038/s41567-024-02664-0 Universal properties have previously been observed mostly in the equilibrium physics of many-body systems in the low-energy and low-temperature regime. Now universality is observed at high temperature in the spin dynamics of a solid-state nuclear magnetic resonance system.
- Origin of the chiral charge density wave in transition-metal dichalcogenideNature Physics, Published online: 14 October 2024; doi:10.1038/s41567-024-02668-w The mechanism of chiral symmetry breaking in condensed matter systems is not well understood. Now charge-lattice symmetry frustration has been shown to be a key factor governing chirality in a charge density wave of 1T-TiSe2.
- The space of transport coefficients allowed by causalityNature Physics, Published online: 14 October 2024; doi:10.1038/s41567-024-02635-5 Causality places fundamental limits on the hydrodynamic behaviour of relativistic systems that are independent of the underlying model.
- Incommensurability enabled quasi-fractal order in 1D narrow-band moiré systemsNature Physics, Published online: 11 October 2024; doi:10.1038/s41567-024-02662-2 An incommensurate moiré pattern in a one-dimensional system is numerically shown to produce a quasi-fractal charge density wave ground state that originates from a parent multifractal critical phase.
- Old tools, new insightsNature Physics, Published online: 11 October 2024; doi:10.1038/s41567-024-02682-y Adapting an experimental tool for use in a new field can be as powerful as inventing a new technique.
- Quantum matter in multifractal patternsNature Physics, Published online: 11 October 2024; doi:10.1038/s41567-024-02663-1 A fractal material exhibits self-similarity at different length scales across the system size. Theorists now show that an interacting one-dimensional quasiperiodic material can host a multifractal charge-density-wave phase.
