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.

Photovoltage microscopy of symmetrically twisted trilayer graphene
Nature Physics, Published online: 20 November 2025; doi:10.1038/s41567-025-03071-9
A proposed theoretical explanation for the electronic behaviour of moiré graphene is the coexistence of light and heavy electrons. Now local thermoelectric measurements hint that this model could be accurate.

A charge transfer mechanism for optically addressable solid-state spin pairs
Nature Physics, Published online: 19 November 2025; doi:10.1038/s41567-025-03091-5
Optical spin defects in semiconductors are crucial for applications, but it is often difficult to establish their microscopic origin. A mechanism for the spin behaviour of a family of bright emitters in hexagonal boron nitride has now been identified.

Observation of a dynamic transition in bulk supercooled water
Nature Physics, Published online: 19 November 2025; doi:10.1038/s41567-025-03112-3
Water has remarkable dynamic properties; a transition from a fragile to a strong liquid has been proposed to explain how they change on cooling. Experiments now show evidence for such a transition in bulk supercooled water at around 233 K.

A cornerstone of entanglement theory restored
Nature Physics, Published online: 18 November 2025; doi:10.1038/s41567-025-03084-4
The second law of thermodynamics says that entropy may only ever increase during the conversion of one physical state into another. Finding an analogous quantity to characterize the conversion of entangled quantum states has been a rollercoaster ride.

Effective bands and band-like electron transport in amorphous solids
Nature Physics, Published online: 17 November 2025; doi:10.1038/s41567-025-03099-x
The standard band structure picture cannot be applied to amorphous materials as they lack crystal symmetry. Now a first-principles approach that captures the possibility of band-like electron transport in amorphous solids is presented, with In2O3 as an example.

Attosecond physics in optical near fields
Nature Physics, Published online: 12 November 2025; doi:10.1038/s41567-025-03093-3
Attosecond control of electrons in nanostructures requires resolving dynamics in the optical near field. Now, an experiment finds low-energy spectral stripes that track subcycle electron emission and allow the isolation of attosecond electron bursts.
