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.

  1. Emergent partons in fractional quantum Hall systems
    Nature Physics, Published online: 22 June 2026; doi:10.1038/s41567-026-03338-9 In a geometrical theory for the fractional quantum Hall effect, chiral spin-2 neutral excitations arise. Now, multiple such excitations are observed and provide evidence for the parton description of the quantum Hall effect.

  2. Creases as information bottlenecks in active elastic sheets
    Nature Physics, Published online: 22 June 2026; doi:10.1038/s41567-026-03332-1 The aneural animal Trichoplax adhaerens undergoes folding and unfolding. Now it is shown that there is a feedback loop between crease geometry and the collective motion of the animal’s cilia.

  3. Structural origin of line-tension reversal in nanoscale wetting of water
    Nature Physics, Published online: 19 June 2026; doi:10.1038/s41567-026-03299-z The microscopic origin of line tension—the excess free energy per unit length at a solid–liquid–gas boundary—is not well understood. Simulations of water nanodroplets now show that structural transitions affect line tension and therefore wetting.

  4. Microscopic signatures of an imaginary charge density wave in a kagome metal
    Nature Physics, Published online: 17 June 2026; doi:10.1038/s41567-026-03339-8 Whether imaginary charge density waves and their associated loop currents exist has remained an open question. Now signatures of this state have been observed in kagome metal CsV3Sb5, revealing spontaneous time-reversal symmetry breaking.

  5. Nanoscale strain wave generation by a piezoelectric grating from polar vortices
    Nature Physics, Published online: 17 June 2026; doi:10.1038/s41567-026-03336-x Topological structures can be designed to display desired properties or functions. As now shown, a periodic structure of polar vortices can, upon piezoelectric modulation, act as a diffraction grating for nanoscale strain waves.

  6. Quantum Fisher information in a strange metal
    Nature Physics, Published online: 15 June 2026; doi:10.1038/s41567-026-03298-0 A strange metal is a strongly correlated quantum state that occurs in many different materials. Now, quantum Fisher information is shown to increase as the strange metal forms, indicating that the state has high multipartite entanglement.

  8. In a binary world
    Nature Physics, Published online: 15 June 2026; doi:10.1038/s41567-026-03326-z The International System of Units is defined in terms of seven physical constants. Ensuring that computers can understand their values exactly as we do is not as trivial as it might seem, say Cristhian Paredes and Juris Meija.
