Spin Berry curvature-enhanced orbital Zeeman effect in a kagome metal
Nature Physics, Published online: 22 April 2024; doi:10.1038/s41567-024-02487-z
Controlling orbital magnetic moments for applications can be difficult. Now local probes of a kagome material, TbV6Sn6, demonstrate how the spin Berry curvature can produce a large orbital Zeeman effect that can be tuned with a magnetic field.

Room-temperature flexible manipulation of the quantum-metric structure in a topological chiral antiferromagnet
Nature Physics, Published online: 22 April 2024; doi:10.1038/s41567-024-02476-2
Manipulation of the quantum-metric structure to produce topological phenomena has rarely been studied. Now, flexible control of the quantum-metric structure is demonstrated in a topological chiral antiferromagnet at room temperature.

Irreversible entropy transport enhanced by fermionic superfluidity
Nature Physics, Published online: 22 April 2024; doi:10.1038/s41567-024-02483-3
Connecting two superfluid reservoirs leads to both particle and entropy flow between the systems. Now, a direct measurement of the entropy current and production in ultracold quantum gases reveals how superfluidity enhances entropy transport.

Penning-trap measurement of the <i>Q</i> value of electron capture in <sup>163</sup>Ho for the determination of the electron neutrino mass
Nature Physics, Published online: 19 April 2024; doi:10.1038/s41567-024-02461-9
Electron capture in 163Ho can be used to determine the electron neutrino mass. The Q value of this process is crucial for the evaluation of the systematic uncertainty in such a measurement, and a 50-fold improvement is now reported.

Timeless order
Nature Physics, Published online: 16 April 2024; doi:10.1038/s41567-024-02488-y
Eighty years on from the publication of Erwin Schrödinger’s interdisciplinary analysis on the origin of order in living organisms — What is Life? — we look at how physicists and biologists are approaching the topic today.
