Nature Physics publishes papers of the highest quality and significance in all areas of physics, pure and applied. The journal content reflects core physics disciplines, but is also open to a broad range of topics whose central theme falls within the bounds of physics. Theoretical physics, particularly where it is pertinent to experiment, also features.Nature Physics is committed to publishing top-tier original research in physics through a fair and rigorous review process. It offers readers and authors high visibility, access to a broad readership, high standards of copy editing and production, rapid publication, and independence from academic societies and other vested interests.The journal features two primary research paper formats: Letters and Articles. In addition to publishing primary research, Nature Physics serves as a central source for top-quality information for the physics community through Review Articles, News & Views, Research Highlights on important developments published throughout the physics literature, Commentaries, Book Reviews, and Correspondence.Research areas covered in the journal include:-Astrophysics and cosmology-High-energy and particle physics-Nuclear physics-Plasma physics-Atomic and molecular physics-Chemical physics-Biophysics-Fluid dynamics-Electronics and device physics-Nanotechnology-Quantum physics and quantum technologies-Optical physics and photonics-Condensed-matter physics-Soft condensed-matter physics-Statistical physics, thermodynamics and nonlinear dynamics-Networks and complex systems-Information theory and computation-Geophysics
