This is the first issue of Volume 5 of Nature Physics, and with it comes a new look for our pages (or PDFs, if you're reading online). Every section of the journal — and of its sister titles, Nature Materials, Nature Nanotechnology, Nature Photonics and Nature Geoscience — has been redesigned, refreshing the templates that we have used since our launch in 2005. The result, we hope you'll agree, is a look that is modern, effective and still distinctively ours.

The editorial team: Alison Wright, Edmund Gerstner, May Chiao, Andreas Trabesinger and David Gevaux.

The editorial team of Nature Physics also has a new look. We're pleased to welcome David Gevaux as the fifth member of the expanded team, taking the growing journal into its fourth year of publishing.
