Nature Physics, Published online: 09 October 2023; doi:10.1038/s41567-023-02218-wFilaments of the FtsZ protein can form chiral assemblies. Now, active matter tools link the microscopic structure of active filaments to the large-scale c… Continue reading Chiral and nematic phases of flexible active filaments
Nature Physics, Published online: 09 October 2023; doi:10.1038/s41567-023-02222-0An approach combining single-cell imaging, agent-based simulations, and continuum mechanics theory is used to observe the effect of environmental stiffnes… Continue reading Biofilm self-organization arises from active boundary shaping
Nature Physics, Published online: 09 October 2023; doi:10.1038/s41567-023-02189-yMeasurements of two neighbouring silicon-based qubits show that the charge noise they each experience is correlated, suggesting a common origin. Understan… Continue reading Spatial correlations of charge noise captured
Nature Physics, Published online: 09 October 2023; doi:10.1038/s41567-023-02227-9Currently, a general framework explaining the fundamental dynamic transitions from solid to fluid of mechanically probed soft materials is lacking. Now, a… Continue reading Soft matter in the loop
Nature Physics, Published online: 06 October 2023; doi:10.1038/s41567-023-02232-yDisordered systems that are far from equilibrium relax slowly towards their equilibrium. Now, we learn that the irreversible plastic deformations that for… Continue reading One crumple at a time
Nature Physics, Published online: 05 October 2023; doi:10.1038/s41567-023-02230-0Unsubstantiated claims that fuel growing public concern over the toxicity of photovoltaic modules and their waste are slowing their deployment. Clarifying… Continue reading Unfounded concerns about photovoltaic module toxicity and waste are slowing decarbonization
