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. Puffing along
    Nature Physics, Published online: 01 July 2024; doi:10.1038/s41567-024-02565-2 Patches of turbulence in straight pipe flow (‘puffs’) display collective dynamics that is not well understood. Now, this dynamics is shown to harbour a phase transition of the directed percolation type, displaying jamming at high puff density.
  2. Topological edge and corner states in bismuth fractal nanostructures
    Nature Physics, Published online: 01 July 2024; doi:10.1038/s41567-024-02551-8 The interplay between topology and fractals in real materials has remained challenging to study. Now, topological states are demonstrated in fractional-dimensional Sierpinski triangles made from bismuth.
  3. Complete quantum toolbox for an acoustic resonator
    Nature Physics, Published online: 01 July 2024; doi:10.1038/s41567-024-02544-7 Acoustic resonators are a promising candidate for making quantum computers scalable. Coupled to a qubit, they have now produced squeezed mechanical states, demonstrating that they can implement a large variety of quantum algorithms.
  4. Dominant 1/3-filling correlated insulator states and orbital geometric frustration in twisted bilayer graphene
    Nature Physics, Published online: 01 July 2024; doi:10.1038/s41567-024-02546-5 Orbitally frustrated states have been predicted to occur in twisted bilayer graphene. Now these states have been observed for fractional filling of the electronic bands, and exhibit charge- and magnetically ordered phases.
  5. Intervalley coherence and intrinsic spin–orbit coupling in rhombohedral trilayer graphene
    Nature Physics, Published online: 01 July 2024; doi:10.1038/s41567-024-02560-7 The role of electron–electron interactions in generating superconductivity in few-layer graphene remains controversial. Now, the observation of interaction-driven intervalley coherence may help to explain the Cooper pairing mechanism.
  6. Empowering deep neural quantum states through efficient optimization
    Nature Physics, Published online: 01 July 2024; doi:10.1038/s41567-024-02566-1 An optimization algorithm reduces the cost of training large-scale neural quantum states. This leads to accurate computations of the ground states of frustrated magnets and provides evidence of gapless quantum-spin-liquid phases.
  7. Non-Abelian braiding of Fibonacci anyons with a superconducting processor
    Nature Physics, Published online: 01 July 2024; doi:10.1038/s41567-024-02529-6 Superconducting qubits have been used to realize a quantum many-body state that is capable of universal topological quantum computation.
  8. Classical algorithm for simulating experimental Gaussian boson sampling
    Nature Physics, Published online: 25 June 2024; doi:10.1038/s41567-024-02535-8 Gaussian boson sampling reproduces distributions that are hard to calculate classically and were claimed to show quantum advantage in the noiseless limit. But now a classical algorithm is shown to reproduce experimental results when noise is large.
