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.

- Error correction of a logical qubit encoded in a single atomic ionNature Physics, Published online: 13 July 2026; doi:10.1038/s41567-026-03315-2 Quantum error correction typically encodes one logical qubit across many physical qubits to suppress noise. An experiment now encodes and corrects a qubit within the multiple internal states of a single trapped ion, reducing errors and extending the coherence time.
- Emergence of phase coherence in a magnon Bose–Einstein condensateNature Physics, Published online: 13 July 2026; doi:10.1038/s41567-026-03373-6 Directly observing how a coherent global phase forms has long been challenging. Now an incoherent magnon gas is observed to transform into a state with a macroscopic global phase, confirming a key prediction of Bose–Einstein condensation theory.

- Dephasingless laser wakefield acceleration of electrons using a flying focusNature Physics, Published online: 10 July 2026; doi:10.1038/s41567-026-03352-x A factor that limits the energy gain in laser–plasma accelerators is dephasing between the accelerated electrons and the laser pulse. Now a proof-of-concept experiment shows that the dephasing limit can be overcome with a flying focus.
- Bose–Einstein condensate of ultracold sodium–rubidium molecules with tunable dipolar interactionsNature Physics, Published online: 09 July 2026; doi:10.1038/s41567-026-03362-9 Condensing ultracold polar molecules requires efficient cooling despite collisional losses. Now sodium–rubidium molecules have been brought to condensation and tuned into a self-bound droplet through control of their dipolar interactions.
- Millisecond coherence times in gigahertz-frequency mechanical oscillatorsNature Physics, Published online: 09 July 2026; doi:10.1038/s41567-026-03314-3 Phonon decoherence in quantum high-overtone bulk acoustic-wave resonators is dominated by imperfections under the material surface. Removing the damaged subsurface layer substantially increases the performance of these devices.
