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.

- 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.
- 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.
- Publisher Correction: Transverse emittance reduction in muon beams by ionization coolingNature Physics, Published online: 30 July 2024; doi:10.1038/s41567-024-02616-8 Publisher Correction: Transverse emittance reduction in muon beams by ionization cooling
- Flow physics guides morphology of ciliated organsNature Physics, Published online: 29 July 2024; doi:10.1038/s41567-024-02591-0 The ducts of many fluid-pumping organs feature cilia. Two structural parameters organize the different types of ducts into a continuous spectrum between ciliary carpet and flame designs depending on the fluid-pumping requirements.
- Dark states of electrons in a quantum system with two pairs of sublatticesNature Physics, Published online: 29 July 2024; doi:10.1038/s41567-024-02586-x The identification of dark states—quantum states that do not interact with photons—in real materials may help to address many unsolved issues in condensed-matter physics. Now, they have been identified in palladium diselenide.
- Scalable spin squeezing from finite-temperature easy-plane magnetismNature Physics, Published online: 29 July 2024; doi:10.1038/s41567-024-02562-5 Generating highly squeezed states for quantum sensing requires precise entanglement properties, which makes it a hard task. Now a conjecture identifies a realistic regime of magnetic order at finite temperatures that enables scalable spin squeezing.
- Precise control and non-destructive readout of quantum states of ion motionNature Physics, Published online: 29 July 2024; doi:10.1038/s41567-024-02599-6 A quantum control technique is used to directly couple trapped-ion motional modes with high fidelity, enabling non-destructive measurements of the quantum harmonic oscillator states of atomic motion. The strong coupling rate and precise manipulation of the quantum states achieved with this technique could lead to advances in quantum information processing.
- A single quantum dot passively mediates entanglementNature Physics, Published online: 29 July 2024; doi:10.1038/s41567-024-02582-1 Creating entangled photon pairs often requires intense excitation of nonlinear materials or the active manipulation of quantum devices. Now, entanglement between two photons has been created by scattering a laser off a passive quantum dot.
