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.

Cavity quantum electrodynamics control of quantum Hall stripes
Nature Physics, Published online: 15 May 2026; doi:10.1038/s41567-026-03287-3
Vacuum fluctuations amplified by a cavity can control and modify quantum phases. Now, strong anisotropic transport is demonstrated by manipulating quantum Hall stripes in a two-dimensional electron gas.

Controllable hydro-thermoelastic heat transport in ultrathin semiconductors at room temperature
Nature Physics, Published online: 15 May 2026; doi:10.1038/s41567-026-03297-1
The combination of viscous heat flow and thermoelastic effects leads to a non-diffusive heat transport regime in MoSe2 and MoS2. Moreover, it can be controlled through the variation in sample thickness and by choosing between continuous and pulsed heating.

Relative benefits of different active learning methods to conceptual physics learning
Nature Physics, Published online: 15 May 2026; doi:10.1038/s41567-026-03307-2
It is known that active learning is more effective than lecturing at improving learning of physics. Now it is shown that some widely used active learning approaches are more effective than others.

Spatially anisotropic Kondo resonance coupled with the superconducting gap in a kagome metal
Nature Physics, Published online: 15 May 2026; doi:10.1038/s41567-026-03292-6
How magnetic impurities influence superconductivity and electronic order in kagome metals remains unclear. Now anisotropic Kondo resonances intertwined with the superconducting gap are observed in a magnetically doped kagome superconductor.

Taking snapshots of spin–valley modes in a moiré superlattice
Nature Physics, Published online: 14 May 2026; doi:10.1038/s41567-026-03295-3
An ultrafast imaging technique captured the propagation of charge-decoupled excitations in twisted bilayer WSe2. Two spin–valley modes with distinct propagation behaviours were revealed, consistent with the phase and amplitude modes of a spin–valley superfluid.

Preserved rotations in solids
Nature Physics, Published online: 12 May 2026; doi:10.1038/s41567-026-03248-w
A seemingly still crystal is alive with synchronized atomic motions. Now, angular momentum has been observed flowing coherently between distinct lattice vibrational modes, revealing a hidden propagation of rotational features inside the crystal.
