Physics is amazing and transformational. But for far too long the people most likely to benefit from its opportunity and wonder have been too narrowly defined.

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.

- Physics should be for everyone
- Never judge a book by its coverNature Physics, Published online: 14 March 2025; doi:10.1038/s41567-025-02794-z The SI brochure has described the global measurement system for more than 50 years, and yet it has kept a low profile. Richard Brown leafs through its history.
- Evidence of universal conformal invariance in living biological matterNature Physics, Published online: 14 March 2025; doi:10.1038/s41567-025-02791-2 The flow features of cell monolayers depend on cellular interactions. Now four different types of cell monolayer are shown to exhibit robust conformal invariance that belongs to the percolation universality class.
- Single-fluorogen imaging reveals distinct environmental and structural features of biomolecular condensatesNature Physics, Published online: 14 March 2025; doi:10.1038/s41567-025-02827-7 Experiments confirm the prediction that fluid-like biomolecular condensates are defined by spatially inhomogeneous organization of the underlying molecules.
- Quantum computers quickly find local minimaNature Physics, Published online: 14 March 2025; doi:10.1038/s41567-025-02832-w Finding ground states of quantum many-body systems is difficult for both classical and quantum computers. However, their local minima can be efficiently found on a quantum computer using thermal perturbations, which is still hard classically.
- Topology drives cell fateNature Physics, Published online: 13 March 2025; doi:10.1038/s41567-025-02809-9 Cells take on specific fates during development based on cues, which can be genetic or mechanical. Now it is shown that the decision of cell nuclei to either migrate to the outer cortex or remain internalized in fruit fly embryos depends on topology.
- Marangoni-like tissue flows enhance symmetry breaking of embryonic organoidsNature Physics, Published online: 11 March 2025; doi:10.1038/s41567-025-02802-2 During the development of multi-cellular animals, biochemical signals control the organization of cells to set up body axes. In mouse embryonic stem cell aggregates, tissue flows are now found to amplify the formation of such body axes.
- Long-range crossed Andreev reflection in a topological insulator nanowire proximitized by a superconductorNature Physics, Published online: 11 March 2025; doi:10.1038/s41567-025-02806-y Crossed Andreev reflection is an important process for using the inherent entanglement within a Cooper pair. Now this effect has been observed in a topological insulator nanowire, which has implications for topological quantum computing.
