We have tested key modelling assumptions of intestinal organoid morphogenesis via biophysical and pharmacological experiments. We have found that mechano-sensitive feedback on cytoskeletal tension gives rise to morphological bistability, and that the same mechanical perturbation can have drastically different effects on morphogenesis depending on the timing of application. This multicellular bistability can provide robustness to developmental systems.

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.

- Gap-opening time periodic perturbationsNature Physics, Published online: 07 March 2025; doi:10.1038/s41567-025-02805-z An intrinsic magnetic topological insulator with gapped surface states would be very useful for both fundamental and application prospects. Now, the use of the time-periodic drive of a laser makes these states not only possible, but also tunable.
- A central spin coordinates a nuclear crowdNature Physics, Published online: 06 March 2025; doi:10.1038/s41567-025-02790-3 To act as nodes in quantum networks, solid-state quantum dots must combine their high performance as quantum emitters with a quantum memory. Now, nuclear spins around a gallium arsenide quantum dot have been used as a many-body quantum memory register.

- Glass is a matter of timeNature Physics, Published online: 05 March 2025; doi:10.1038/s41567-025-02788-x Understanding the behaviour of viscous liquids close to the glass transition is a century-old problem. The microscopic underpinnings of their mechanical response have now been made clearer by a unified percolation description, in both two and three dimensions.
- Gender disparities in physics recognitionNature Physics, Published online: 05 March 2025; doi:10.1038/s41567-025-02817-9 On average, physics students who identify as men perceive themselves more strongly as ‘physics people’ than students who are women. Varying internalization of peer recognition better explains gender differences than biases in received recognition.
- Bias in physics peer recognition does not explain gaps in perceived peer recognitionNature Physics, Published online: 05 March 2025; doi:10.1038/s41567-025-02789-w The degree to which students perceive recognition as a physics person from their peers is known to be important. Now, women report lower perceived peer recognition than men, even after controlling for the amount of peer recognition received.
