RSS Nature Physics

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.

  1. Collective motion of electrons captured at the atomic scale
    Nature Physics, Published online: 22 July 2024; doi:10.1038/s41567-024-02553-6 Many 2D or 1D materials feature fascinating collective behaviour of electrons that competes with highly localized interactions at atomic defects. By combining terahertz spectroscopy with scanning tunnelling microscopy, the ultrafast motion of these collective states can be captured with atomic spatial resolution, enabling the observation of electron dynamics at their intrinsic length and time scale.
  2. Transverse emittance reduction in muon beams by ionization cooling
    Nature Physics, Published online: 17 July 2024; doi:10.1038/s41567-024-02547-4 Current muon beams have a phase-space volume that is too large for applications in muon colliders. Now, the reduction in the beam’s transverse emittance when passed through different absorbers in ionization cooling experiments is quantified.
  3. Water dropped in the deep end

  5. Bosons reach a century
    Nature Physics, Published online: 16 July 2024; doi:10.1038/s41567-024-02598-7 This year marks the hundredth anniversary of Satyendra Nath Bose’s paper that stimulated the study of quantum statistics. We take this opportunity to celebrate the physics of bosons.
  6. The kernel of thermodynamics
    Nature Physics, Published online: 16 July 2024; doi:10.1038/s41567-024-02580-3 The kernel of thermodynamics
  7. Cool as muons
    Nature Physics, Published online: 16 July 2024; doi:10.1038/s41567-024-02571-4 The volume of muon beams in position–momentum space is too large to be used in a collider. A clear reduction in this volume has now been demonstrated, which brings particle physics closer to a practical muon collider for exploring the energy frontier.
  8. Terahertz spectroscopy of collective charge density wave dynamics at the atomic scale
    Nature Physics, Published online: 15 July 2024; doi:10.1038/s41567-024-02552-7 The observation of phase modes of charge density wave has been a long-standing challenge. Such low-energy phase excitations have now been seen in a transition metal dichalcogenide.
