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.

- Entanglement accelerates quantum simulationNature Physics, Published online: 14 July 2025; doi:10.1038/s41567-025-02945-2 Large quantum systems with high entanglement are difficult to simulate with classical methods, but now it is shown that entanglement may be beneficial for quantum simulations.
- Intertwined orders in a quantum materialNature Physics, Published online: 11 July 2025; doi:10.1038/s41567-025-02942-5 Symmetry-protected topological orders are often in competition with electronic correlations that tend to induce orders with broken symmetry. Now, a quantum material is shown to exhibit correlation-driven tuneable excitonic instabilities intertwined with symmetry-protected topological orders.
- Topological excitonic insulator with tunable momentum orderNature Physics, Published online: 11 July 2025; doi:10.1038/s41567-025-02917-6 Experimental systems in which non-trivial topology is driven by spontaneous symmetry breaking are rare. Now, topological gaps resulting from two excitonic condensates have been demonstrated in a three-dimensional material.
- Measurement of phonon angular momentumNature Physics, Published online: 11 July 2025; doi:10.1038/s41567-025-02952-3 Theory predicts that phonons—quanta of lattice vibrations—can carry finite angular momentum and thus influence physical properties of materials. Now phonons with angular momentum have been seen in tellurium with a chiral crystal structure.
- First-principles diagrammatic Monte Carlo for electron–phonon interactions and polaronNature Physics, Published online: 10 July 2025; doi:10.1038/s41567-025-02954-1 Diagrammatic Monte Carlo calculations accurately describe polarons in different theoretical models. Now, integrating this with accurate first-principles calculations can describe the ground-state and dynamic properties of polarons in real materials.
- Quantum thermalization and Floquet engineering in a spin ensemble with a clock transitionNature Physics, Published online: 09 July 2025; doi:10.1038/s41567-025-02943-4 Using Floquet engineering, an ensemble of ytterbium-171 ions in an yttrium orthovanadate host crystal provides a platform for studying the dynamics of different quantum many-body models, including the realization of a time-crystalline phase.
- Ytterbium dopants for quantum simulationNature Physics, Published online: 09 July 2025; doi:10.1038/s41567-025-02948-z Understanding and controlling many-body interactions is essential for advancing quantum science. A crystal containing millions of strongly interacting ytterbium ion dopants has now been used to simulate complex quantum many-body phenomena.
