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.

- Single-fluorogen imaging reveals distinct environmental and structural features of biomolecular condensatesNature Physics, Published online: 14 March 2025; doi:10.1038/s41567-025-02827-7 Experiments confirm the prediction that fluid-like biomolecular condensates are defined by spatially inhomogeneous organization of the underlying molecules.
- Topology drives cell fateNature Physics, Published online: 13 March 2025; doi:10.1038/s41567-025-02809-9 Cells take on specific fates during development based on cues, which can be genetic or mechanical. Now it is shown that the decision of cell nuclei to either migrate to the outer cortex or remain internalized in fruit fly embryos depends on topology.
- Marangoni-like tissue flows enhance symmetry breaking of embryonic organoidsNature Physics, Published online: 11 March 2025; doi:10.1038/s41567-025-02802-2 During the development of multi-cellular animals, biochemical signals control the organization of cells to set up body axes. In mouse embryonic stem cell aggregates, tissue flows are now found to amplify the formation of such body axes.
- Long-range crossed Andreev reflection in a topological insulator nanowire proximitized by a superconductorNature Physics, Published online: 11 March 2025; doi:10.1038/s41567-025-02806-y Crossed Andreev reflection is an important process for using the inherent entanglement within a Cooper pair. Now this effect has been observed in a topological insulator nanowire, which has implications for topological quantum computing.
- Mechano-sensitive feedback leads to morphological bistability in intestinal organoidsNature Physics, Published online: 10 March 2025; doi:10.1038/s41567-025-02801-3 We have tested key modelling assumptions of intestinal organoid morphogenesis via biophysical and pharmacological experiments. We have found that mechano-sensitive feedback on cytoskeletal tension gives rise to morphological bistability, and that the same mechanical perturbation can have drastically different effects on morphogenesis depending on the timing of application. This multicellular bistability can provide robustness to developmental systems.
- Gap-opening time periodic perturbationsNature Physics, Published online: 07 March 2025; doi:10.1038/s41567-025-02805-z An intrinsic magnetic topological insulator with gapped surface states would be very useful for both fundamental and application prospects. Now, the use of the time-periodic drive of a laser makes these states not only possible, but also tunable.
- Publisher Correction: Unified percolation scenario for the α and β processes in simple glass formersNature Physics, Published online: 07 March 2025; doi:10.1038/s41567-025-02860-6 Publisher Correction: Unified percolation scenario for the α and β processes in simple glass formers
- A central spin coordinates a nuclear crowdNature Physics, Published online: 06 March 2025; doi:10.1038/s41567-025-02790-3 To act as nodes in quantum networks, solid-state quantum dots must combine their high performance as quantum emitters with a quantum memory. Now, nuclear spins around a gallium arsenide quantum dot have been used as a many-body quantum memory register.
