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.

When excitons crystallize
Nature Physics, Published online: 21 November 2023; doi:10.1038/s41567-023-02274-2
Semiconducting dipolar excitons — bound states of electrons and holes — in artificial moiré lattices constitute a promising condensed matter system to explore the phase diagram of strongly interacting bosonic particles.

Electron spin finds a fresh excitation
Nature Physics, Published online: 09 November 2023; doi:10.1038/s41567-023-02265-3
The Kondo effect — the screening of an impurity spin by conduction electrons — is a fundamental many-body effect. However, recent experiments combined with simulations have caused a long-standing model system for the single-atom Kondo effect to fail.

Light as fast as electrons
Nature Physics, Published online: 09 November 2023; doi:10.1038/s41567-023-02305-y
The 2023 Nobel Prize in Physics has been awarded to Pierre Agostini, Ferenc Krausz and Anne L’Huillier “for experimental methods that generate attosecond pulses of light for the study of electron dynamics in matter”.

Although its measurement was considered an experimental nightmare for decades, the Stefan–Boltzmann constant was assigned an exact value in 2019. Massimiliano Malgieri and Pasquale Onorato explain what this story teaches us.

Soviet influences on Kenneth Wilson’s renormalization group work
Nature Physics, Published online: 09 November 2023; doi:10.1038/s41567-023-02191-4
Kenneth Wilson worked on the renormalization group during the Cold War, when communication between scientists in the Soviet Union and in the West was restricted. Nevertheless, Soviet physicists had a strong influence on Wilson’s work.

Rearranged under stress
Nature Physics, Published online: 08 November 2023; doi:10.1038/s41567-023-02260-8
Permanent deformation in solids results from atoms not aligning with the external stress causing the deformation. Detecting such non-affine atomic rearrangements and connecting them to measurable mechanical effects is now shown to be feasible by means of high-energy X-ray diffraction.

A proximate model material for triangular lattice quantum spin liquids
Nature Physics, Published online: 07 November 2023; doi:10.1038/s41567-023-02275-1
Neutron spectroscopy, entanglement analysis, and simulations provide evidence that KYbSe2 closely approximates a 2D quantum spin liquid. Although KYbSe2 displays magnetic ordering at low temperatures, its magnetic dynamics are dominated by fractionalized excitations that exhibit anomalously large quantum entanglement, indicating that on finite timescales KYbSe2 exhibits quantum spin liquid physics.

Dependency of ERC-funded research on US collaborations
Nature Physics, Published online: 07 November 2023; doi:10.1038/s41567-023-02239-5
Annually, the European Research Council (ERC) and the National Science Foundation (NSF) allocate resources to promote research excellence in Europe and the USA. We observe that European Union (EU)-based researchers rely strongly on United States (US) collaborations to secure top EU funding, while the reverse is much less common.

Proximate spin liquid and fractionalization in the triangular antiferromagnet KYbSe<sub>2</sub>
Nature Physics, Published online: 06 November 2023; doi:10.1038/s41567-023-02259-1
A detailed analysis of inelastic neutron scattering data, including the evaluation of entanglement witnesses used in quantum information theory, supports the proposal that the triangular-lattice antiferromagnet KYbSe2 is close to a spin-liquid phase.

Valley-polarized exitonic Mott insulator in WS<sub>2</sub>/WSe<sub>2</sub> moiré superlattice
Nature Physics, Published online: 06 November 2023; doi:10.1038/s41567-023-02266-2
Interactions between excitons and correlated electrons can lead to the formation of interesting states. Now, evidence suggests that these interactions can give rise to a Mott insulator of excitons.

Impact of physicality on network structure
Nature Physics, Published online: 06 November 2023; doi:10.1038/s41567-023-02267-1
Physical networks are systems composed of physical entities, which conventional graph-based approaches fail to capture. Theoretical work now introduces a meta-graph technique to uncover the impact of physicality on the structure of networks.

Anti-laser shows how to make waves behave
Nature Physics, Published online: 02 November 2023; doi:10.1038/s41567-023-02252-8
A decade ago, the anti-laser made waves as a new type of perfect absorber that functions as a one-way trap door for light. Experiments have now demonstrated the control of light without absorbing it.

Geometric description of clustering in directed networks
Nature Physics, Published online: 02 November 2023; doi:10.1038/s41567-023-02246-6
Network geometry is an emerging framework used to describe several topological and organizational features of complex networks. Now this approach has been extended to directed networks, which contain both symmetric and asymmetric interactions.

Laser ablation and fluid flows reveal the mechanism behind spindle and centrosome positioning
Nature Physics, Published online: 02 November 2023; doi:10.1038/s41567-023-02223-z
Cell division is governed by the positioning of a cytoskeletal structure called the spindle. Two methods, one based on laser ablation and the other on fluid flow assessments, are now shown to be useful tools for studying spindle positioning.
