RSS Nature Physics
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.

- Nature Physics, Published online: 27 January 2025; doi:10.1038/s41567-024-02777-6 Stable and metastable electrical dipole patterns have been imaged and manipulated using in situ heating and cooling in ferroelectric superlattices.
- Nature Physics, Published online: 27 January 2025; doi:10.1038/s41567-024-02764-x Quantum thermodynamics has provided theoretical insights into the foundations of quantum and statistical physics. Now, a quantum thermal machine has found an application — cooling qubits in a quantum computer.
- Nature Physics, Published online: 27 January 2025; doi:10.1038/s41567-024-02756-x Ultracold recombination reactions typically produce molecules in many uncontrolled quantum states. Quantum control over reaction products has now been demonstrated via magnetic Feshbach resonances.
- Nature Physics, Published online: 24 January 2025; doi:10.1038/s41567-024-02746-z The thousands of nuclear spins surrounding gallium arsenide quantum dots can interface with electron spin qubits and photons. With quantum engineering, this nuclear spin ensemble becomes a robust register for quantum information storage.
- Nature Physics, Published online: 24 January 2025; doi:10.1038/s41567-024-02727-2 Quantum error correction is essential for reliable quantum computing, but no single code supports all required fault-tolerant gates. The demonstration of switching between two codes now enables universal quantum computation with reduced overhead.
- Nature Physics, Published online: 23 January 2025; doi:10.1038/s41567-024-02758-9 Many important models in theoretical physics — including the standard model of particle physics — are governed by local ‘gauge’ symmetries. Now, a quantum computer has successfully simulated a lattice gauge theory by leveraging this rich symmetry structure.
- Nature Physics, Published online: 23 January 2025; doi:10.1038/s41567-024-02752-1 Searches for metastable states with properties not found in thermal equilibrium have been restricted to either ultrafast or slow timescales. A metastable state in an intermediate time window has now been identified in a photo-doped Mott insulator.
- Nature Physics, Published online: 22 January 2025; doi:10.1038/s41567-024-02763-y In a cancer mouse model, wrinkling patterns in bladder-lining tissue differ from their healthy counterparts. Changes in tissue-mechanical properties that alter elastic buckling instabilities explain this observation.
