- Time-resolved imaging of antiferromagnetic skyrmion interactionsNature Physics, Published online: 10 August 2026; doi:10.1038/s41567-026-03383-4 Understanding the time-resolved dynamics of antiferromagnetic skyrmion interactions remains a challenge, limiting control over their collective behaviour. Now their ultrafast dynamics is visualized in real time in thin-film multilayers.
- Large intra-chromosome heterogeneity leads to emergent nonlinear mechanicsNature Physics, Published online: 07 August 2026; doi:10.1038/s41567-026-03407-z Analysis of the mechanical properties of mitotic chromosomes is key for understanding the robustness of chromosomes during cell division. It is now shown that chromosomes are highly mechanically heterogeneous.
