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.

- Chirality and topology team up to produce orbital monopoleNature Physics, Published online: 09 October 2024; doi:10.1038/s41567-024-02658-y Electrons in a chiral topological material exhibit a unique orbital angular momentum profile in momentum space that resembles magnetic monopoles. It gives an opportunity to utilize the orbital motion of electrons for information processing — so-called orbitronics.
- Self-propulsion, flocking and chiral active phases from particles spinning at intermediate Reynolds numbersNature Physics, Published online: 08 October 2024; doi:10.1038/s41567-024-02651-5 A particle rotating in a fluid generates vorticity around itself. Now the dynamics of a collective of such spinners suspended in a liquid is shown to display flocking and three-dimensional active chirality.
- Author Correction: Intervalley coherence and intrinsic spin–orbit coupling in rhombohedral trilayer grapheneNature Physics, Published online: 08 October 2024; doi:10.1038/s41567-024-02689-5 Author Correction: Intervalley coherence and intrinsic spin–orbit coupling in rhombohedral trilayer graphene
- Emergent actin flows explain distinct modes of gliding motilityNature Physics, Published online: 08 October 2024; doi:10.1038/s41567-024-02652-4 Unicellular parasites, such as Toxoplasma gondii, can use different forms of gliding motions when infecting a host. These motility modes arise from the self-organizing properties of filamentous actin flow at the surface of these parasitic cells.
- Photon-mediated long-range coupling of two Andreev pair qubitsNature Physics, Published online: 03 October 2024; doi:10.1038/s41567-024-02630-w Qubits formed from Andreev bound states in a Josephson junction could have performance advantages over existing superconducting qubits. Here proof-of-principle experiments demonstrate long-range coupling between Andreev-level qubits.
- Qubits inside junctions get joined upNature Physics, Published online: 03 October 2024; doi:10.1038/s41567-024-02639-1 Semiconductor spin qubits are usually highly localized, which makes it difficult to engineer long-range interactions. Two recent experiments demonstrate that adding superconductivity makes supercurrent-based long-range coupling possible.
- High-harmonic generation by a bright squeezed vacuumNature Physics, Published online: 02 October 2024; doi:10.1038/s41567-024-02659-x High-harmonic generation has so far been driven only by classical light. Now, its driving by a bright squeezed vacuum—a quantum state of light—has been observed and shown to be more efficient than using classical light.
- Controllable orbital angular momentum monopoles in chiral topological semimetalsNature Physics, Published online: 30 September 2024; doi:10.1038/s41567-024-02655-1 Chiral topological materials have been predicted to host orbital angular momentum monopoles, which can be useful for orbitronics applications. Now such monopoles have been imaged in chiral materials.
