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. Ferromagnetism and topology of the higher flat band in a fractional Chern insulator
    Nature Physics, Published online: 20 March 2025; doi:10.1038/s41567-025-02804-0 In analogy with quantum Hall systems, it may be possible to find non-abelian anyons in the higher bands of Chern insulators. Now, the phase diagram of the second moiré band of twisted MoTe2 is explored, laying the groundwork for such investigations.
  2. High-resolution tunnelling spectroscopy of fractional quantum Hall states
    Nature Physics, Published online: 20 March 2025; doi:10.1038/s41567-025-02830-y Local probes of quantum Hall states are still in their infancy. Now scanning tunnelling measurements were used to extract the energy gap of candidate non-Abelian fractional states, which are found to be encouragingly large for applications.
  3. Jet hammers and boring ultrasound
    Nature Physics, Published online: 18 March 2025; doi:10.1038/s41567-025-02833-9 Microbubbles exposed to ultrasound generate cyclic jets that create pores in cellular membranes and bore tunnels through cell junctions.
  4. A metallic room-temperature d-wave altermagnet
    Nature Physics, Published online: 18 March 2025; doi:10.1038/s41567-025-02822-y Metallic altermagnets are promising for applications due to the spin-polarized electric current that originates from their spin-split band structure. Now d-wave altermagnetism with antisymmetric spin polarization has been demonstrated in KV2Se2O.
  5. Detection of fractional quantum Hall states by entropy-sensitive measurements
    Nature Physics, Published online: 17 March 2025; doi:10.1038/s41567-025-02813-z Fractional quantum Hall states can be fragile, meaning that they are difficult to probe using electrical transport measurements. Now, thermal transport is shown to be a more sensitive technique for investigating these states.
  6. Never judge a book by its cover
    Nature Physics, Published online: 14 March 2025; doi:10.1038/s41567-025-02794-z The SI brochure has described the global measurement system for more than 50 years, and yet it has kept a low profile. Richard Brown leafs through its history.
  7. The magnetic cartography of sea turtles
    Nature Physics, Published online: 14 March 2025; doi:10.1038/s41567-025-02841-9 The magnetic cartography of sea turtles
  8. Maple stir-up
