Measuring the phase generated by an exchange of anyons is challenging, as standard interferometry set-ups—such as the Fabry–Pérot interferometer—suffer from charging effects that obscure the interference signal. Here we present the observation of anyonic interference and exchange phases in an optical-like Mach–Zehnder interferometer based on co-propagating interface modes. By avoiding backscattering and deleterious charging effects, this set-up enables pristine and robust Aharonov–Bohm interference without any phase slips. At various fractional filling factors, the observed flux periodicities agree with the fundamental fractionally charged excitations that correspond to Jain states and depend only on the bulk topological order. To probe the anyonic statistics, we used a small, charged top gate in the interferometer bulk to induce localized quasiparticles without modifying the Aharonov–Bohm phase. The added quasiparticles introduce periodic phase slips. The sign and magnitude of the observed phase slips align with the expected value at filling 1/3, but their direction shows systematic deviations at fillings 2/5 and 3/7. Control over added individual quasiparticles in this design is essential for measuring the coveted non-abelian statistics in the future.","PeriodicalId":19100,"journal":{"name":"Nature Physics","volume":"19 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":19.6,"publicationDate":"2025-07-02","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"144533765","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":1,"RegionCategory":"物理与天体物理","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

However, technological applications of photoinduced phases are limited by their ultrashort lifetimes and the low temperatures required for their stabilization. One such phase is the hidden metallic charge density wave state in 1T-TaS2, whose origin and stability above cryogenic temperatures remain the subject of debate. Here, we demonstrate that this phase can be stabilized at thermal equilibrium by accessing a mixed charge density wave order regime through thermal quenching. Using X-ray high-dynamic-range reciprocal space mapping and scanning tunnelling spectroscopy, we reveal the coexistence of commensurate charge density wave and hidden metallic charge density wave domains up to 210 K. Our findings show that each order parameter breaks basal plane mirror symmetry with different chiral orientations and induces out-of-plane unit cell tripling in the hidden phase. Despite metallic domain walls and a finite density of states, the bulk resistance remains insulating due to charge density wave stacking disorder. Our results establish the hidden state as a thermally stable phase and introduce an alternative mechanism for switchable metallic behaviour in thin flakes of 1T-TaS2 and similar materials with competing phases.","PeriodicalId":19100,"journal":{"name":"Nature Physics","volume":"57 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":19.6,"publicationDate":"2025-06-27","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"144500765","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":1,"RegionCategory":"物理与天体物理","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Magic-angle twisted trilayer graphene is a tunable platform for exploring such effects, hosting both heavy electrons in its flat bands and delocalized light Dirac electrons in dispersive bands. Superconductivity in this system spans a wider range of phase space than moiré materials without dispersive bands, suggesting that interband interactions influence the stabilization of correlated phases. Here we investigate the interplay between the light and heavy electrons in magic-angle twisted trilayer graphene by performing local compressibility measurements with a scanning single-electron-transistor microscope. We establish that weak incompressibility features near several integer moiré band fillings host a finite population of light Dirac electrons at the Fermi level, despite a gap opening in the flat band sector. At higher magnetic field near charge neutrality, we find a phase transition sequence that is robust over nearly 10 μm but exhibits complex spatial dependence. Calculations establish that the Dirac sector can be viewed as flavour analogous to the spin and valley degrees of freedom.","PeriodicalId":19100,"journal":{"name":"Nature Physics","volume":"34 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":19.6,"publicationDate":"2025-06-26","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"144488469","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":1,"RegionCategory":"物理与天体物理","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

This non-equilibrium state is maintained by sophisticated protein machinery, which imports food molecules, removes waste products and orchestrates cell division. However, it remains unclear how this complex cellular machinery emerged and evolved. Here we show how the molecular contents of a cell can be coupled in a coordinated way to non-equilibrium heat flow. A temperature difference across a water-filled pore assembled the core components of a modern cell, which could then activate the gene expression. The mechanism arose from the interplay of convection and thermophoresis, both driven by the same heat source. The cellular machinery of protein synthesis from DNA via RNA was triggered as a direct result of the concentration of cell components. The same non-equilibrium setting continued to attract food molecules from an adjacent fluid stream, keeping the cellular molecules in a confined pocket protected against diffusion. Our results show how a simple non-equilibrium physical process can assemble the many different molecules of a cell and trigger its basic functions. The framework provides a membrane-free environment to bridge the long evolutionary times from an RNA world to a protein-based cell-like proto-metabolism.","PeriodicalId":19100,"journal":{"name":"Nature Physics","volume":"17 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":19.6,"publicationDate":"2025-06-26","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"144488467","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":1,"RegionCategory":"物理与天体物理","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Multicellular tissues have traditionally been modelled as viscoelastic materials, which overlooked the abundance of intercellular space and intercellular flow within the structure. Although intercellular flow can substantially impact development and disease progression, its role in the mechanical behaviour of tissues remains unclear. Here we show that fluid transport via the intercellular space determines the immediate mechanical response of tissues upon deformation. We directly measure the mechanical response of multicellular tissues by applying parallel plate compression via a tailored micro-mechanics platform. We find that both cultured three-dimensional cell spheroids and native mouse pancreatic islets exhibit apparent poroelastic behaviour over a timescale of up to a minute. These findings highlight the fundamental role of interstitial fluid transport in the mechanics of multicellular systems and could help identify potential physical regulators of development and diseases, as well as strategies for engineering multicellular living systems.","PeriodicalId":19100,"journal":{"name":"Nature Physics","volume":"8 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":19.6,"publicationDate":"2025-06-20","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"144329003","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":1,"RegionCategory":"物理与天体物理","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

This state can manifest a quantum spin liquid, and indeed, these compounds are predicted to have emergent gauge fields that produce linearly dispersing collective magnetic excitations near zero energy, in addition to the presence of higher-energy spinon excitations. Here we use polarized neutron scattering experiments on single crystals of the Ce2Zr2O7 pyrochlore. We find evidence for magnetic excitations near zero energy, in addition to signatures of spinons at higher energies. Furthermore, we perform heat capacity measurements and find behaviour consistent with the cubic-in-temperature dependence expected for linearly dispersing gapless bosonic modes. Comparing the observed magnetic excitations with theoretical calculations, we argue that Ce2Zr2O7 is a strong candidate for a dipolar–octupolar quantum spin ice with dominant dipolar Ising interactions.","PeriodicalId":19100,"journal":{"name":"Nature Physics","volume":"38 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":19.6,"publicationDate":"2025-06-19","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"144319425","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":1,"RegionCategory":"物理与天体物理","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
