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.

- Intervalley coherence and intrinsic spin–orbit coupling in rhombohedral trilayer grapheneNature Physics, Published online: 01 July 2024; doi:10.1038/s41567-024-02560-7 The role of electron–electron interactions in generating superconductivity in few-layer graphene remains controversial. Now, the observation of interaction-driven intervalley coherence may help to explain the Cooper pairing mechanism.
- Classical algorithm for simulating experimental Gaussian boson samplingNature Physics, Published online: 25 June 2024; doi:10.1038/s41567-024-02535-8 Gaussian boson sampling reproduces distributions that are hard to calculate classically and were claimed to show quantum advantage in the noiseless limit. But now a classical algorithm is shown to reproduce experimental results when noise is large.
- Quantum squeezing in a nonlinear mechanical oscillatorNature Physics, Published online: 21 June 2024; doi:10.1038/s41567-024-02545-6 Mechanical modes promise applications in continuous-variable quantum information processing, but only if the final two elements—squeezing and nonlinearity—are achieved. Experiments with an oscillator coupled to a transmon qubit now achieve this.
- Wave-momentum shaping for moving objects in heterogeneous and dynamic mediaNature Physics, Published online: 21 June 2024; doi:10.1038/s41567-024-02538-5 Although manipulation of objects using light and sound waves is an established technique, it has so far been confined to static environments. Iterative tailoring of acoustic far fields now allows control of objects in disordered and dynamic media.
- Wavefronts wield tweezers amid disorderNature Physics, Published online: 21 June 2024; doi:10.1038/s41567-024-02548-3 Acoustic and optical traps enable contactless manipulation of objects, but trapping has been limited to homogeneous environments. Wavefront shaping now extends this versatile manipulation tool to dynamic and disordered media.
- Information gets into the flow with wave scatteringNature Physics, Published online: 21 June 2024; doi:10.1038/s41567-024-02550-9 140 years ago, John Henry Poynting demonstrated “by what paths and according to what law” electromagnetic energy travels. Theory and experiment now also reveal how waves acquire information as they scatter through their environment.
- Collective flow of fermionic impurities immersed in a Bose–Einstein condensateNature Physics, Published online: 21 June 2024; doi:10.1038/s41567-024-02541-w The complex interactions arising in mixtures of bosons and fermions make it hard to understand their coupled dynamics. The collective oscillations of fermions embedded in a boson condensate have now been characterized in an ultracold-atom experiment.
- Critical delay accumulationNature Physics, Published online: 20 June 2024; doi:10.1038/s41567-024-02507-y In many schedule-based systems, timeliness is paramount. A recent study provides insights into delay accumulation in networks, revealing a phase transition with connections to the physics of interfaces.
