- Beet fringes and dimplesNature Physics, Published online: 11 August 2025; doi:10.1038/s41567-025-03006-4 Beet fringes and dimples
- How to soothe the turmoil in the field of pressure-induced superconductivity in the hydridesNature Physics, Published online: 11 August 2025; doi:10.1038/s41567-025-02969-8 A crucial issue in condensed-matter physics is the assessment of superconducting diamagnetism in highly compressed hydrides. We propose a suitable reference sample that can be used to gain more consensus.
- Fractional computingNature Physics, Published online: 11 August 2025; doi:10.1038/s41567-025-03012-6 We highlight how an abstract piece of condensed-matter physics — the fractional quantum Hall effect — may be ideally placed to implement quantum computers.
- Strongly interacting Hofstadter states in magic-angle twisted bilayer grapheneNature Physics, Published online: 11 August 2025; doi:10.1038/s41567-025-02997-4 Interacting electrons in Hofstadter bands can form symmetry-broken topological states. These are now revealed in magic-angle twisted bilayer graphene, and their properties are influenced by non-uniform quantum geometry.
- Optomechanical control of long-lived bulk acoustic phonons in the quantum regimeNature Physics, Published online: 11 August 2025; doi:10.1038/s41567-025-02989-4 A massive phonon mode in a high-overtone bulk acoustic wave resonator has been laser cooled close to its ground state. Its robustness to decoherence establishes the potential of these devices for quantum technologies.
- We never thought aloneNature Physics, Published online: 11 August 2025; doi:10.1038/s41567-025-02986-7 We never thought alone
- Multistable polar textures in geometrically frustrated nematic liquid crystalsNature Physics, Published online: 08 August 2025; doi:10.1038/s41567-025-02966-x Programmable topological dipoles could be used in stimuli-responsive materials. Now it is shown that confinement of an apolar liquid crystal results in controllable polar arrangements of elastic dipoles.
- Stable singular fractional skyrmion spin texture from the quantum Kelvin–Helmholtz instabilityNature Physics, Published online: 08 August 2025; doi:10.1038/s41567-025-02982-x The quantum Kelvin–Helmholtz instability can induce non-trivial topological excitations. Now a proof-of-principle experiment demonstrates the emergence of a stable singular fractional skyrmion spin texture originating from this quantum instability.
