Everyday objects often fail from repeated stress. A study shows that fatigue failure in glasses is governed by damage percolation and predictable from early-cycle energy dissipation.

- When percolation triggers fatigue
- Geometric origin of particle and dislocation dynamics during grain boundary migrationNature Physics, Published online: 09 March 2026; doi:10.1038/s41567-025-03165-4 Grain boundaries in polycrystalline systems display complicated dynamics. Now, a general framework is presented that predicts the microscopic dynamics of both particles and dislocations underlying grain boundary migration in two-dimensional colloids.
- Logical multi-qubit entanglement with dual-rail superconducting qubitsNature Physics, Published online: 06 March 2026; doi:10.1038/s41567-026-03211-9 Quantum computers often exhibit a bias in the type of error that is the most common or severe. Entanglement has now been demonstrated for qubits encoded with an error correction code that is designed to efficiently handle biased errors.
- Cavity-enhanced spectroscopy in the deep cryogenic regime for quantum sensing and metrologyNature Physics, Published online: 06 March 2026; doi:10.1038/s41567-026-03204-8 Operating cavity-based spectrometers at low temperature has several advantages, such as improved sensitivity. Now, a cavity-enhanced spectrometer is demonstrated down to 4 K.
- High-field triplet superconductivity in a transition metal dichalcogenide superlatticeNature Physics, Published online: 06 March 2026; doi:10.1038/s41567-026-03185-8 BaTa2S5, which consists of alternating layers of TaS2 and Ba2TaS4, is shown to host a triplet superconducting phase at high magnetic field. This triplet phase emerges from another—more conventional—superconducting state.
- The coarsening of biomimetic condensates in an active fluid is non-self-similarNature Physics, Published online: 06 March 2026; doi:10.1038/s41567-026-03191-w A study of condensates that mimic biological ones within a reconstituted cytoskeleton reveals the mechanisms underlying the coarsening of the condensate.
- Kondo with a topological twistNature Physics, Published online: 06 March 2026; doi:10.1038/s41567-026-03209-3 In a semiconductor bilayer system, local moments in one layer interact with itinerant carriers in the other to realize a two-dimensional topological Kondo insulator.
- Transient grating spectroscopy down to the atomic length scaleNature Physics, Published online: 06 March 2026; doi:10.1038/s41567-026-03203-9 Free-electron lasers generate intense, femtosecond and sub-nanometre wavelength pulses. Incorporating such X-ray light into transient grating spectroscopy reveals electron dynamics at the nanometre length scale.
