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 electrodynamics of van der Waals heterostructures
Nature Physics, Published online: 20 October 2025; doi:10.1038/s41567-025-03064-8
Integrating an electronic device with a cavity can cause the electrons to couple to photons strongly enough to form hybrid modes. Now, the cavity effects induced by intrinsic graphite gates are shown to modify the low-energy properties of graphene.

Demonstration of dynamic surface codes
Nature Physics, Published online: 17 October 2025; doi:10.1038/s41567-025-03070-w
Typical quantum error correcting codes assign fixed roles to the underlying physical qubits. Now the performance benefits of alternative, dynamic error correction schemes have been demonstrated on a superconducting quantum processor.

Electrons herald non-classical light
Nature Physics, Published online: 16 October 2025; doi:10.1038/s41567-025-03033-1
When free electrons emit light, an entangled electron–photon state is created. Here measurements of the correlated multiparticle system have been used to produce non-classical photonic states.

Vibrational responses of polar skyrmions
Nature Physics, Published online: 15 October 2025; doi:10.1038/s41567-025-03068-4
Controlling polar skyrmions — topological textures of electric dipoles — is crucial for modern optoelectronic applications. Terahertz excitation is shown to govern ultrafast manipulation of polar skyrmions featuring signature vibrational modes.

Nodal hybridization in a two-dimensional heavy-fermion material
Nature Physics, Published online: 14 October 2025; doi:10.1038/s41567-025-03060-y
Anisotropic hybridization between conduction and unpaired f electrons is rarely observed. Now, a lanthanide-based two-dimensional compound exhibits nodal hybridization, giving rise to heavy-fermion behaviour.
