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. In-beam spectroscopy reveals competing nuclear shapes in the rare isotope <sup>62</sup>Cr
    Nature Physics, Published online: 18 October 2024; doi:10.1038/s41567-024-02680-0 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.
  2. Emergent universal quench dynamics in randomly interacting spin models
    Nature 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.
  3. Publisher Correction: Propagation of insulator-to-metal transition driven by photoinduced strain waves in a Mott material
    Nature Physics, Published online: 14 October 2024; doi:10.1038/s41567-024-02699-3 Publisher Correction: Propagation of insulator-to-metal transition driven by photoinduced strain waves in a Mott material
  4. Origin of the chiral charge density wave in transition-metal dichalcogenide
    Nature 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.
  5. The space of transport coefficients allowed by causality
    Nature 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.
  6. Old tools, new insights
    Nature 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.
  7. Quantum matter in multifractal patterns
    Nature 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.
  8. Growing old nonlinearly
    Nature Physics, Published online: 11 October 2024; doi:10.1038/s41567-024-02660-4 Growing old nonlinearly
