Coherently projecting a quantum state may allow it to be probed from a distance. This is now demonstrated for a Yu–Shiba–Rusinov state using a quantum corral.

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.

- Non-local detection of coherent Yu–Shiba–Rusinov quantum projections
- Learning quantum states of continuous-variable systemsNature Physics, Published online: 26 November 2025; doi:10.1038/s41567-025-03086-2 Finding a classical description of a quantum state can require resource-intensive tomography protocols. It has now been shown that, for bosonic systems, tomography is extremely inefficient in general, but can be done efficiently for some useful states.
- Chirality of malaria parasites determines their motion patternsNature Physics, Published online: 24 November 2025; doi:10.1038/s41567-025-03096-0 Malaria parasites move on helical trajectories when infecting their hosts. Now it is shown that they use right-handed chirality to control their motion patterns, and that this chirality is linked to the way they release adhesion molecules.
- Electric toroidal invariance generates distinct transverse electromagnetic responsesNature Physics, Published online: 24 November 2025; doi:10.1038/s41567-025-03100-7 Magnetic toroidal invariance generates transverse electromagnetic effects in materials with broken symmetries. Now a distinct magnetic response is shown to emerge in ferro-rotational systems in which both inversion and time-reversal symmetries are preserved.
- Hybrid excitons span two worldsNature Physics, Published online: 21 November 2025; doi:10.1038/s41567-025-03097-z Excitons are bound electron–hole pairs that are usually either tightly bound or spread across a material. Signatures of hybrid excitons that mix both characters have now been observed at organic–semiconductor interfaces.
- Photovoltage microscopy of symmetrically twisted trilayer grapheneNature Physics, Published online: 20 November 2025; doi:10.1038/s41567-025-03071-9 A proposed theoretical explanation for the electronic behaviour of moiré graphene is the coexistence of light and heavy electrons. Now local thermoelectric measurements hint that this model could be accurate.
- Observation of a dynamic transition in bulk supercooled waterNature Physics, Published online: 19 November 2025; doi:10.1038/s41567-025-03112-3 Water has remarkable dynamic properties; a transition from a fragile to a strong liquid has been proposed to explain how they change on cooling. Experiments now show evidence for such a transition in bulk supercooled water at around 233 K.
- A charge transfer mechanism for optically addressable solid-state spin pairsNature Physics, Published online: 19 November 2025; doi:10.1038/s41567-025-03091-5 Optical spin defects in semiconductors are crucial for applications, but it is often difficult to establish their microscopic origin. A mechanism for the spin behaviour of a family of bright emitters in hexagonal boron nitride has now been identified.
