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. Quantized limit of conductivity in near-ideal graphene
    Nature Physics, Published online: 13 August 2025; doi:10.1038/s41567-025-02974-x Transport properties near the Dirac point in graphene are expected to be determined by quantum many-body interactions between relativistic electrons. Experiments now show that the flow of charge and heat in high-quality graphene close to charge neutrality can be described within a hydrodynamic framework, with universal intrinsic electrical conductivity that is quantized to a value close to the quantum of conductance.
  2. A mechanical quantum memory for microwave photons
    Nature Physics, Published online: 13 August 2025; doi:10.1038/s41567-025-02975-w Superconducting qubits, a leading platform for quantum information processing, suffer from decoherence. Interfacing them with nanomechanical oscillators allows quantum information to be stored in motional states with longer lifetimes.
  3. Liquid dipole lattice
    Nature Physics, Published online: 12 August 2025; doi:10.1038/s41567-025-02992-9 Geometrically confined apolar nematic liquid crystals lose rotational symmetry and form a multifunctional polar lattice of fluid elastic dipoles with controllable orientation. The lattice is of interest from a fundamental science perspective as well as having potential applications.
  4. Strongly interacting Hofstadter states in magic-angle twisted bilayer graphene
    Nature 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.
  5. Fractional computing
    Nature 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.
  6. How to soothe the turmoil in the field of pressure-induced superconductivity in the hydrides
    Nature 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.
  7. Metrology supports product safety
    Nature Physics, Published online: 11 August 2025; doi:10.1038/s41567-025-02987-6 Knowledge gained by combining measurements and simulations leads to increased confidence in the safety of products, as Louise Wright explains.
  8. Beet fringes and dimples
    Nature Physics, Published online: 11 August 2025; doi:10.1038/s41567-025-03006-4 Beet fringes and dimples
