The International System of Units is defined in terms of seven physical constants. Ensuring that computers can understand their values exactly as we do is not as trivial as it might seem, say Cristhian Paredes and Juris Meija.

- Bigger and faster computation with photonsNature Physics, Published online: 15 June 2026; doi:10.1038/s41567-026-03346-9 Bigger and faster computation with photons
- Orbital Hall conductivity and relaxation in thin films with variable disorderNature Physics, Published online: 15 June 2026; doi:10.1038/s41567-026-03334-z The role of disorder in orbital angular momentum transport induced by electric fields is not well understood. Now orbital Hall conductivity and orbital relaxation are shown to be robust even in strongly disordered thin films.
- Evidence of time-reversal symmetry breaking above the charge density wave order in a kagome metalNature Physics, Published online: 15 June 2026; doi:10.1038/s41567-026-03331-2 Time-reversal symmetry breaking in kagome metals remains an open problem. Now, a circulating phase called the loop-current order is shown to break time-reversal symmetry at a temperature well above the charge order transition in CsV3Sb5.
- Strong coupling of a microwave photon to an electron on heliumNature Physics, Published online: 15 June 2026; doi:10.1038/s41567-026-03342-z Individual electrons on superfluid helium can be used as qubits. Strong coupling between the motional state of a single superfluid helium-bound electron and a single cavity photon has now been demonstrated, enabling qubit readout schemes.
