Good writing is about having something interesting and original to say. Generative AI tools might provide technical help, but they are no substitute for your unique perspective.
Pietro Barabaschi, Director General of ITER, calls for measures and incentives to carefully document the entire research process, including dead ends and failures, instead of reporting just the successful final results.
Mónica Bello, Curator and Head of Arts at CERN talks about the programmes that have been fostering the dialogue between artists and physicists for over a decade with the aim of exploring the cultural significance of fundamental research.
In 2023, a number of experiments on trilayer 2D structures uncovered new exciton states that have an electrically-tunable dipole moment and show a quantum many-body phase diagram.
Despite recent breakthroughs in quantum error correction experiments with trapped ions, superconducting circuits and reconfigurable atom arrays, there are still several technological challenges to overcome.
In an age of expensive experiments and hype around new data-driven methods, researchers understandably want to ensure they are gleaning as much insight from their data as possible. Rachel C. Kurchin argues that there is still plenty to be learned from older approaches without turning to black boxes.
Generative machine learning models seek to approximate and then sample the probability distribution of the data sets on which they are trained. This Perspective article connects these methods to historical studies of information processing and attractor geometry in nonlinear systems.
For Nature Reviews journals, the simplistic notion of high–low impact measured by citation-based metrics is inadequate. Instead, we should understand who is using these journals, and how.
The science of food is strongly connected to chemistry and sensory science, but chewing and swallowing is also governed by soft matter physics as it involves processing materials that are deformable, easily fractured or that melt at low temperatures. What can physics tell us about these processes, and what questions remain?
Understanding the W boson as accurately as possible, including knowing its mass, has been a priority in particle physics for decades. This Perspective article gives an overview of the role of the W boson mass in the Standard Model and its extensions and compares techniques for measuring it.
The organizers of Science Fiction and the Future of Detection and Imaging, a series of workshops exploring the role of technology in future societies, share what they learned from these events.
Quantum nanophotonics examines the interaction between emitters and light confined at the nanoscale. This Review highlights the experimental progress in the field, explains new light–matter interaction regimes and emphasizes their potential applications in quantum technologies.
The ATLAS Collaboration at CERN used data from 13 TeV proton–proton collisions at the Large Hadron Collider to observe for the first time entanglement between a pair of top quarks.
No sign of sterile neutrinos was found in the latest, and most extensive, analysis done on data taken by the STEREO experiment and yet, the case is not closed.
Connie Potter and Rob Appleby, editors of Collision: Stories from the Science of CERN — an anthology of short science fiction stories — share how they brought creative writers, scientists and engineers to work together on this book.
As Nature Reviews Physics reaches its fifth birthday, we celebrate just how much high-quality content we have published so far, thanks to our authors, referees, in-house team and readers.
