Lacking translational symmetry, the momentum-space description of quasicrystals is distinct from that of fully crystalline materials. Now, a quasicrystal with two 2D layers links different momenta from the individual layers, allowing new excitons to form.

- Field-tunable valley coupling in a dodecagonal semiconductor quasicrystal
- Fractional quantization in insulators from Hall to ChernNature Physics, Published online: 07 November 2025; doi:10.1038/s41567-025-03072-8 This Review describes the concepts behind generalized quantum Hall effects that can take place without a magnetic field, and summarizes recent experimental manifestations of these phenomena in twisted two-dimensional materials and few-layer graphene.
- Quantum light steers photoelectronsNature Physics, Published online: 07 November 2025; doi:10.1038/s41567-025-03092-4 When driven by nonclassical light, photoemission from a needle tip reveals signatures of strong-field physics, opening up opportunities to control matter and to engineer the building blocks of quantum technologies.
- Quantum light drives electrons strongly at metal needle tipsNature Physics, Published online: 07 November 2025; doi:10.1038/s41567-025-03087-1 The common description of strong-field light–matter interaction neglects the quantum-optical nature of the driving field. Now signatures of strong-field photoemission appear in electron energy spectra when driving with non-classical light.
- Anisotropic mass enhancement in a two-dimensional heavy-fermion materialNature Physics, Published online: 06 November 2025; doi:10.1038/s41567-025-03067-5 In a heavy-fermion material, hybridization of conduction electrons and electrons in partially filled core-levels enhances the mass of charge carriers. Now, experiments using a two-dimensional heavy-fermion material show that the hybridization can be extremely anisotropic, with the result that the effective mass of charge carriers is direction-dependent.
- A tale of two domes in twisted trilayer grapheneNature Physics, Published online: 06 November 2025; doi:10.1038/s41567-025-03081-7 A careful investigation of superconductivity in twisted trilayer graphene reveals a two-dome structure, which may be connected to intricate patterns of symmetry breaking in the underlying metallic state.
- Observation of the nonlinear chiral thermoelectric Hall effect in telluriumNature Physics, Published online: 03 November 2025; doi:10.1038/s41567-025-03073-7 Nonlinear thermoelectric transport arising from inversion-symmetry breaking has been predicted theoretically. Now, the nonlinear chiral thermoelectric Hall effect has been experimentally demonstrated for tellurium at room temperature.
- Electrically tuning photonic topological quasiparticles in synthetic two-level systemNature Physics, Published online: 03 November 2025; doi:10.1038/s41567-025-03074-6 Photonic quasiparticles are neutral, so controlling them by coupling with external fields is generally impossible. Now, by synthesizing a two-level photonic system, coupling with an electric field becomes possible and enables electrical control.
