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.

Spin Berry curvature-enhanced orbital Zeeman effect in a kagome metal
Nature Physics, Published online: 22 April 2024; doi:10.1038/s41567-024-02487-z
Controlling orbital magnetic moments for applications can be difficult. Now local probes of a kagome material, TbV6Sn6, demonstrate how the spin Berry curvature can produce a large orbital Zeeman effect that can be tuned with a magnetic field.

Room-temperature flexible manipulation of the quantum-metric structure in a topological chiral antiferromagnet
Nature Physics, Published online: 22 April 2024; doi:10.1038/s41567-024-02476-2
Manipulation of the quantum-metric structure to produce topological phenomena has rarely been studied. Now, flexible control of the quantum-metric structure is demonstrated in a topological chiral antiferromagnet at room temperature.

Irreversible entropy transport enhanced by fermionic superfluidity
Nature Physics, Published online: 22 April 2024; doi:10.1038/s41567-024-02483-3
Connecting two superfluid reservoirs leads to both particle and entropy flow between the systems. Now, a direct measurement of the entropy current and production in ultracold quantum gases reveals how superfluidity enhances entropy transport.

Penning-trap measurement of the <i>Q</i> value of electron capture in <sup>163</sup>Ho for the determination of the electron neutrino mass
Nature Physics, Published online: 19 April 2024; doi:10.1038/s41567-024-02461-9
Electron capture in 163Ho can be used to determine the electron neutrino mass. The Q value of this process is crucial for the evaluation of the systematic uncertainty in such a measurement, and a 50-fold improvement is now reported.

Timeless order
Nature Physics, Published online: 16 April 2024; doi:10.1038/s41567-024-02488-y
Eighty years on from the publication of Erwin Schrödinger’s interdisciplinary analysis on the origin of order in living organisms — What is Life? — we look at how physicists and biologists are approaching the topic today.

Electrons bunch up in quantum light
Nature Physics, Published online: 15 April 2024; doi:10.1038/s41567-024-02473-5
When photons impinge on a material, free electrons can be created by the photoelectric effect. The emitted electron current usually fluctuates with Poisson statistics, but if squeezed quantum light is applied, the electrons bunch up.

Distinct elastic properties and their origins in glasses and gels
Nature Physics, Published online: 12 April 2024; doi:10.1038/s41567-024-02456-6
As amorphous solids, glasses and gels are similar, but the origins of their different elastic properties are unclear. Simulations now suggest differing free-energy-minimizing pathways: structural ordering for glasses and interface reduction for gels.

All-optical seeding of a light-induced phase transition with correlated disorder
Nature Physics, Published online: 11 April 2024; doi:10.1038/s41567-024-02474-4
Controlling phase transitions in solids is crucial for many applications. Ultrafast laser pulses have now been shown to enable the energy-efficient generation of structural fluctuations in VO2 by harnessing the correlated disorder in the material.

Nonlinearity-induced topological phase transition characterized by the nonlinear Chern number
Nature Physics, Published online: 11 April 2024; doi:10.1038/s41567-024-02451-x
Linear topological systems can be characterized using invariants such as the Chern number. This concept can be extended to the nonlinear regime, giving rise to nonlinearity-induced topological phase transitions.
