- Nature Physics, Published online: 08 January 2025; doi:10.1038/s41567-024-02728-1 Phase tuning of propagating spin waves is a crucial step in the development of devices based on magnons, which are the quanta of spin waves. Now, this has been demonstrated in a device comprising two spin Hall nano-oscillators.
- Nature Physics, Published online: 07 January 2025; doi:10.1038/s41567-024-02731-6 Trilayer graphene with the layers consecutively twisted by the same angle is shown to be a platform in which correlated and topological states exist, driven by local lattice relaxations.
- Nature Physics, Published online: 07 January 2025; doi:10.1038/s41567-024-02740-5 Defects known as two-level systems are a major source of noise for superconducting qubits. Adding a phononic crystal is now shown to extend the lifetime of these two-level systems, which could lead to improved qubit coherence.
- Nature Physics, Published online: 07 January 2025; doi:10.1038/s41567-024-02735-2 Carcinoma subtypes are normally linked to specific genetic alterations, but tissue mechanical changes also play a role. Now, aberrant morphologies resembling bladder carcinoma are shown to emerge from stiffness changes during epithelial overgrowth.
- Nature Physics, Published online: 06 January 2025; doi:10.1038/s41567-024-02698-4 Solid-state electrolytes with high ionic conductivity are promising candidates for battery applications. Experiments in one of these materials now reveal a mechanism that mediates ionic diffusivity and mirrors the vibrational properties of liquids.
- Nature Physics, Published online: 06 January 2025; doi:10.1038/s41567-024-02715-6 Edge-localized plasma modes in a tokamak can damage its innermost wall. Simulations now show that fast ions can modify the spatio-temporal structure of these modes. These effects need to be considered in the optimization of control techniques.
- Nature Physics, Published online: 06 January 2025; doi:10.1038/s41567-024-02707-6 Understanding the mechanism of ionic diffusion in superionic materials is crucial for their potential applications in solid-state batteries. Now liquid-like dynamics that break the Debye law of lattice dynamics have been demonstrated in a lithium electrolyte.
- Nature Physics, Published online: 03 January 2025; doi:10.1038/s41567-024-02700-z In strongly correlated systems, weak interactions can lead to the formation of correlated pairs of bosons with opposite momenta. Now, an experiment on ultracold bosons shows the breakdown of this effect in the strong interaction regime.
