- Obstacles regulate membrane tension propagation to enable localized mechanotransduction
- Hybrid Frenkel–Wannier excitons facilitate ultrafast energy transfer at a 2D–organic interfaceNature Physics, Published online: 29 October 2025; doi:10.1038/s41567-025-03075-5 A hybrid exciton is observed at the interface between an organic semiconductor and a transition metal dichalcogenide. This suggests engineering the exciton wavefunction can lead to efficient charge and energy transfer processes in such structures.
- The generalized quantum Stein’s lemma and the second law of quantum resource theoriesNature Physics, Published online: 29 October 2025; doi:10.1038/s41567-025-03047-9 Earlier work establishing an analogue of the second law of thermodynamics for quantum resources relied on a flawed proof of the generalized quantum Stein’s lemma. Now the lemma has been re-proven, restoring the analogy.
- An initiative towards better representation in high-pressure researchNature Physics, Published online: 29 October 2025; doi:10.1038/s41567-025-03077-3 Women in High Pressure, a community tackling gender imbalance in high-pressure research, is driving inclusion, visibility and systemic change — so every scientist can thrive, even under pressure.
- Vortices revealed by synchronizationNature Physics, Published online: 23 October 2025; doi:10.1038/s41567-025-03066-6 A study shows that the nucleation of vortices in dipolar supersolids can be revealed by the onset of rotational synchronization.
- Synchronization in rotating supersolidsNature Physics, Published online: 23 October 2025; doi:10.1038/s41567-025-03065-7 Supersolids combine superfluid and crystal order and their response to external driving remains unclear. Now it is shown that, in a dipolar supersolid, rotation induces synchronization of the crystal motion via vortex nucleation.
- Individual solid-state nuclear spin qubits with coherence exceeding secondsNature Physics, Published online: 22 October 2025; doi:10.1038/s41567-025-03049-7 Nuclear spins in solid-state systems can have very long coherence times, which makes them attractive for use as qubits. Now a nuclear spin qubit device has been developed with all-microwave two-qubit control that has important performance benefits.
- Practical limits on entanglement manipulationNature Physics, Published online: 22 October 2025; doi:10.1038/s41567-025-03046-w Entanglement is a powerful resource for quantum technologies but real-world computation limits can drastically change what is achievable. Now research reveals that computational constraints reshape our understanding of entanglement manipulation.
