Operating devices close to a phase transition can improve performance due to the singular behaviour at critical points. An enhancement in sensitivity has now been achieved using the bistable transition point in a hybrid quantum system.

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.

- Exceptional sensitivity near the bistable transition point of a hybrid quantum system
- Bose–Hubbard simulator with long-range hoppingNature Physics, Published online: 17 March 2026; doi:10.1038/s41567-026-03213-7 Simulating the Bose–Hubbard model with physical systems is an important fundamental task. Now it is shown that dipolar excitons emulate a version of this model in which bosons can hop beyond their nearest neighbours.
- Origin of strange metallicity in a <i>d</i>-orbital kagome metalNature Physics, Published online: 17 March 2026; doi:10.1038/s41567-026-03216-4 The mechanism of strange metallicity remains difficult to understand. Now it is shown that in a strongly correlated d-orbital kagome metal, compact orbitals created by destructive interference can produce the unusual electronic behaviour.
- Nominations matterNature Physics, Published online: 16 March 2026; doi:10.1038/s41567-026-03188-5 The information contained in the nomination process for the Nobel Prize highlights the ever-changing meaning of scientific recognition.
- Radiography revolutionNature Physics, Published online: 16 March 2026; doi:10.1038/s41567-026-03192-9 Early radiography methods, such as conventional X-ray scans, gave physicians only limited information about what happens inside the body. Rachel Toth tells us how this case was cracked with computed tomography.
