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.

  1. Electron–phonon coupling resolved by phonon mode and electron energy

    Nature Physics, Published online: 06 May 2025; doi:10.1038/s41567-025-02863-3

    A two-dimensional spectroscopic technique to probe the strength of electron–phonon coupling has the capability to simultaneously resolve the phonon mode and the electron transition energy — and is bringing fresh insight into the complex interactions of phonons and electrons in a range of materials.
  2. Fractional charges under the microscope

    Nature Physics, Published online: 06 May 2025; doi:10.1038/s41567-025-02909-6

    Fractionalized excitations typically require ultra-clean materials at low temperature and high magnetic field to emerge. Experiments on a simple graphene platform now reveal ideal conditions for the visualization of these fragile collective states.
  3. Proof-of-principle demonstration of muon production with an ultrashort high-intensity laser

    Nature Physics, Published online: 06 May 2025; doi:10.1038/s41567-025-02872-2

    Muons are conventionally produced from cosmic rays or with a proton accelerator. Now a proof-of-principle experiment demonstrates the feasibility of muon production with a laser-driven electron beam with gigaelectronvolt energy in a lead converter target.
  4. Observation of Floquet states in graphene

    Nature Physics, Published online: 06 May 2025; doi:10.1038/s41567-025-02889-7

    The feasibility of Floquet engineering in graphene has been called into question due to its fast decoherence processes. Measurements of graphene’s photoemission spectrum now support the generation of Floquet states in this material.
  5. Robust and resource-optimal dynamic pattern formation of Min proteins in vivo

    Nature Physics, Published online: 05 May 2025; doi:10.1038/s41567-025-02878-w

    Oscillatory Min protein patterns prevent abnormal bacterial cell division. Now it is shown that Min pattern formation is resource efficient and involves wavelength-invariant oscillations that are robust to physiological changes.
