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.

- Mechanochemical bistability of intestinal organoids enables robust morphogenesisNature Physics, Published online: 28 February 2025; doi:10.1038/s41567-025-02792-1 How forces are temporally coordinated during embryo development is unclear. Now two types of morphology are possible in a developing organoid and the final morphology depends on the system history.
- Unconventional gapping behaviour in a kagome superconductorNature Physics, Published online: 28 February 2025; doi:10.1038/s41567-024-02770-z The pairing mechanism in kagome superconductors is still not fully understood. Now, CsV3Sb5, which belongs to this family, is shown to have orbital-selective pairing with two distinct superconducting domes that are not separated by any phase boundary.
- Topological interactions drive the first fate decision in the <i>Drosophila</i> embryoNature Physics, Published online: 25 February 2025; doi:10.1038/s41567-025-02796-x Early positioning of the embryo nuclei is not well understood. Now, experiments show that the orientation of the mitotic spindle is controlled by topological interactions, which determine whether the nucleus remains inside the Drosophila embryo.
- Higher-order Laplacian renormalizationNature Physics, Published online: 24 February 2025; doi:10.1038/s41567-025-02784-1 The renormalization group is a powerful tool to study the universal properties of physical systems. A diffusion-based renormalization scheme now enables the study of scale invariance and universality in higher-order complex networks.
- Twist–torsion coupling in beating axonemesNature Physics, Published online: 24 February 2025; doi:10.1038/s41567-025-02783-2 Many single cells rely on beating cilia and flagella to move. Now it is shown that the core of these appendages twists to generate the torsion waves responsible for three-dimensional motion.
- Cyclic jetting enables microbubble-mediated drug deliveryNature Physics, Published online: 21 February 2025; doi:10.1038/s41567-025-02785-0 Ultrasound-driven microbubbles are promising candidates for drug delivery, but the mechanism of action is unclear. Now, single microbubbles induce drug uptake through cyclic microjets formed at mild ultrasound pressures via interfacial instability.
- Diffraction minima resolve point scatterers at few hundredths of the wavelengthNature Physics, Published online: 21 February 2025; doi:10.1038/s41567-024-02760-1 The central maximum of a diffraction pattern is commonly used to resolve point-like scatterers. Now spatial resolution far below the diffraction limit is achieved by using the scattering minima.
- Topology shapes dynamics of higher-order networksNature Physics, Published online: 19 February 2025; doi:10.1038/s41567-024-02757-w Higher-order interactions reveal new aspects of the interplay between topology and dynamics in complex systems. This Perspective describes the emerging field of higher-order topological dynamics and discusses the open research questions in the area.
