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.

- Emergent signatures of the glass transition in colloidal suspensionsNature Physics, Published online: 16 January 2026; doi:10.1038/s41567-025-03140-z Colloidal suspensions are known to display a glass transition. Now, insights into this transition, via its effect on the solvent, are gained by probing the correlated motion of tracer particles in such systems.
- Transport evidence for chiral surface states from three-dimensional Landau bandsNature Physics, Published online: 16 January 2026; doi:10.1038/s41567-025-03146-7 The properties of electronic transport through edge states of three-dimensional quantum Hall-like states are not yet resolved. Now, increasing the surface area of the edges is shown to produce increased conductance, suggesting that chiral surface states are present.
- Tracing dynamic arrestNature Physics, Published online: 16 January 2026; doi:10.1038/s41567-025-03159-2 Suspensions of colloidal hard spheres are excellent model systems for studying glass dynamics. Adding tracer particles enables a hydrodynamic approach for probing the glass transition.
- Traceability for protein sequence to functionNature Physics, Published online: 15 January 2026; doi:10.1038/s41567-025-03130-1 How proteins — sequences of amino acids — fold determines their function. We discuss efforts towards the establishment of metrics traceable to the International System of Units that link the sequence of a protein to its structure and function.

- An alternate chapter in magnetismNature Physics, Published online: 15 January 2026; doi:10.1038/s41567-025-03149-4 A recently proposed class of magnets, so-called altermagnets, combine features of ferromagnets and antiferromagnets. We discuss the scientific appeal of altermagnets, current controversies and challenges for their practical use.
- An anniversary annumNature Physics, Published online: 15 January 2026; doi:10.1038/s41567-025-03152-9 As our metrology column turns ten years, there is no better way to celebrate than to look at the definitions of a year, finds Stefanie Reichert.
