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. Nodal hybridization in a two-dimensional heavy-fermion material
    Nature Physics, Published online: 14 October 2025; doi:10.1038/s41567-025-03060-y Anisotropic hybridization between conduction and unpaired f electrons is rarely observed. Now, a lanthanide-based two-dimensional compound exhibits nodal hybridization, giving rise to heavy-fermion behaviour.
  2. Ultrafast topological control
    Nature Physics, Published online: 14 October 2025; doi:10.1038/s41567-025-03045-x Exciton–polariton superlattices allow sub-picosecond switching of topological phases, paving the way for ultrafast and reconfigurable topological photonic devices.
  3. Experimental observation of a time rondeau crystal
    Nature Physics, Published online: 14 October 2025; doi:10.1038/s41567-025-03028-y Previous work on periodically driven many-body systems has demonstrated the formation of time crystals that break time-translation symmetry. Now, more general phases with partial temporal ordering have been realized.
  4. Twenty years of physics in motion
    Nature Physics, Published online: 13 October 2025; doi:10.1038/s41567-025-03061-x Twenty years of physics in motion
  5. The first eight
    Nature Physics, Published online: 13 October 2025; doi:10.1038/s41567-025-03059-5 In our very first issue we published eight research papers, on topics ranging from condensed matter physics to atom interferometry. Two decades on, we look back at those works and hear from their authors.
  6. A vowel for the volt
    Nature Physics, Published online: 13 October 2025; doi:10.1038/s41567-025-03058-6 Names of measurement units often honour notable scientists and are seemingly immune to change. Richard Brown and Juris Meija explore the legacy of this tradition.
  7. Still going strong
    Nature Physics, Published online: 13 October 2025; doi:10.1038/s41567-025-03076-4 Two decades ago this month, Nature Physics published its first issue. We reflect on the past and look into the future.
  8. Strings and topological defects govern ordering kinetics in endothelial cell layers
    Nature Physics, Published online: 09 October 2025; doi:10.1038/s41567-025-03014-4 Imposing shear flow on a cell layer induces an ordering transition. Now it is shown that an intermediate phase of ordering occurs driven by an interplay between cellular activity and the aligning field.
