- Universal dynamics and microwave control of programmable resonant electro-optic frequency combs
- Magnetic field-induced momentum-dependent symmetry breaking in a kagome superconductorNature Physics, Published online: 11 March 2026; doi:10.1038/s41567-026-03205-7 Disentangling intertwined orders in quantum materials is challenging. Now, photoemission spectroscopy experiments show that magnetic fields can be used to disentangle such orders in a kagome superconductor.
- One- and two-dimensional cluster states for topological phase simulation and measurement-based quantum computationNature Physics, Published online: 11 March 2026; doi:10.1038/s41567-026-03179-6 Measurement-based quantum computing implements quantum algorithms by performing sequences of measurements on special classes of entangled states, such as cluster states. This approach has now been demonstrated on a superconducting quantum processor.
- When percolation triggers fatigueNature Physics, Published online: 10 March 2026; doi:10.1038/s41567-026-03210-w Everyday objects often fail from repeated stress. A study shows that fatigue failure in glasses is governed by damage percolation and predictable from early-cycle energy dissipation.
- Geometric origin of particle and dislocation dynamics during grain boundary migrationNature Physics, Published online: 09 March 2026; doi:10.1038/s41567-025-03165-4 Grain boundaries in polycrystalline systems display complicated dynamics. Now, a general framework is presented that predicts the microscopic dynamics of both particles and dislocations underlying grain boundary migration in two-dimensional colloids.
- Kondo with a topological twistNature Physics, Published online: 06 March 2026; doi:10.1038/s41567-026-03209-3 In a semiconductor bilayer system, local moments in one layer interact with itinerant carriers in the other to realize a two-dimensional topological Kondo insulator.
- Transient grating spectroscopy down to the atomic length scaleNature Physics, Published online: 06 March 2026; doi:10.1038/s41567-026-03203-9 Free-electron lasers generate intense, femtosecond and sub-nanometre wavelength pulses. Incorporating such X-ray light into transient grating spectroscopy reveals electron dynamics at the nanometre length scale.
- The coarsening of biomimetic condensates in an active fluid is non-self-similarNature Physics, Published online: 06 March 2026; doi:10.1038/s41567-026-03191-w A study of condensates that mimic biological ones within a reconstituted cytoskeleton reveals the mechanisms underlying the coarsening of the condensate.
