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.

- Emergence of fluctuating hydrodynamics in chaotic quantum systemsNature Physics, Published online: 12 August 2024; doi:10.1038/s41567-024-02611-z Fluctuating hydrodynamics posits that thermalization in non-equilibrium systems depends on equilibrium transport coefficients. This hypothesis is now tested by exploring the emergence of fluctuations in non-equilibrium dynamics of ultracold atoms.
- Circuit quantum electrodynamics detection of induced two-fold anisotropic pairing in a hybrid superconductor–ferromagnet bilayerNature Physics, Published online: 12 August 2024; doi:10.1038/s41567-024-02613-x Heterostructures of ferromagnets and superconductors may host exotic superconducting states. Now a circuit quantum electrodynamics technique is demonstrated that provides evidence for triplet p-wave pairing in such a heterostructure.
- Self-organization of mortal filaments and its role in bacterial division ring formationNature Physics, Published online: 12 August 2024; doi:10.1038/s41567-024-02597-8 Treadmilling of cytoskeletal filaments is crucial for their functional self-organization. Now the mechanism underpinning this collective organization is shown to be the dissolution of misaligned filaments.
- Optogenetic generation of leader cells reveals a force–velocity relation for collective cell migrationNature Physics, Published online: 12 August 2024; doi:10.1038/s41567-024-02600-2 Leader cells play an important role in guiding migratory clusters in various biological processes. Now, the mechanical organization of leader and followers within a cell cluster is shown to enable collective migration.
- Nonlinear absorption of an X-ray pulse during the formation of warm dense matterNature Physics, Published online: 08 August 2024; doi:10.1038/s41567-024-02594-x A bright, ultrashort X-ray pulse is used to transiently create and characterize warm dense copper. As the pulse intensity is increased, the opacity of copper is strongly altered. The recorded X-ray absorption spectra, substantiated by a theoretical electronic structure model, provide insight into the non-equilibrium electron dynamics during the formation of warm dense matter.
- Matter waves hang in thereNature Physics, Published online: 08 August 2024; doi:10.1038/s41567-024-02605-x An atom interferometer now maintains a spatial superposition state for 70 seconds, compared to few seconds in freely falling systems. This could improve measurements of the strength of gravitational fields and quantum gravity studies.
- Carrier density crossover and quasiparticle mass enhancement in a doped 5<i>d</i> Mott insulatorNature Physics, Published online: 02 August 2024; doi:10.1038/s41567-024-02564-3 The pseudogap in cuprates is often linked to superconductivity. Now bulk evidence for a pseudogap is found in doped non-superconducting Sr2IrO4, revealing that pseudogaps in doped Mott insulators are not necessarily a precursor to superconductivity.
- Spontaneous breaking of mirror symmetry in a cuprate beyond critical dopingNature Physics, Published online: 02 August 2024; doi:10.1038/s41567-024-02601-1 The Fermi liquid state in highly doped superconducting cuprates is normally thought of as disordered. Now, an observation of broken mirror symmetry in that phase suggests otherwise.
