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. Active hydraulics and odd elasticity of muscle fibres
    Nature Physics, Published online: 08 July 2024; doi:10.1038/s41567-024-02540-x A multiscale model of muscle as a fluid-filled sponge suggests that hydraulics limits rapid contractions and that the mechanical response of muscle is non-reciprocal.
  2. Constants in disguise
    Nature Physics, Published online: 08 July 2024; doi:10.1038/s41567-024-02583-0 It has many names and yet no name. The designation of the universal gas constant as R has remained a mystery, as Karen Mudryk recounts.
  3. Revealing the complex phases of rhombohedral trilayer graphene
    Nature Physics, Published online: 08 July 2024; doi:10.1038/s41567-024-02561-6 Rhombohedral graphene is an emerging material with a rich correlated-electron phenomenology, including superconductivity. The magnetism of symmetry-broken trilayer graphene has now been explored, revealing important details of the physics and providing a roadmap for broader explorations of rhombohedral graphene.
  4. A superconducting dual-rail cavity qubit with erasure-detected logical measurements
    Nature Physics, Published online: 02 July 2024; doi:10.1038/s41567-024-02539-4 Dual-rail encodings of quantum information can be used to detect loss errors, allowing these errors to be treated as erasures. The measurement of dual-rail states with error detection has now been demonstrated in superconducting cavities.
  5. Sequence-specific interactions determine viscoelasticity and ageing dynamics of protein condensates
    Nature Physics, Published online: 02 July 2024; doi:10.1038/s41567-024-02558-1 The time-dependent viscoelastic moduli of biomolecular condensates are connected to the functions that the condensates influence in cells. Now sticker and spacer residues in proteins are shown to regulate condensate viscoelasticity and ageing dynamics.
  6. Unravelling quantum dynamics using flow equations
    Nature Physics, Published online: 02 July 2024; doi:10.1038/s41567-024-02549-2 The complexity of a many-body quantum state grows exponentially with system size, hindering numerical studies. A unitary flow-based method now enables accurate estimates of long-term properties of one- and two-dimensional quantum systems.
  7. Dissipative time crystal in a strongly interacting Rydberg gas
    Nature Physics, Published online: 02 July 2024; doi:10.1038/s41567-024-02542-9 The observation of continuous time crystals has been hindered by atom loss in the ultracold regime. Long-range time-crystalline order has now been demonstrated in a dissipative Rydberg gas at room temperature.
  8. 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.
