Physics articles from across Nature Portfolio
Physics is the search for and application of rules that can help us understand and predict the world around us. Central to physics are ideas such as energy, mass, particles and waves. Physics attempts to both answer philosophical questions about the nature of the universe and provide solutions to technological problems.

Super- and subradiant dynamics of quantum emitters mediated by atomic matter waves
Experiments on cooperative radiative decay typically involve rapidly escaping photons. Collective emission dynamics have now been studied in an array of quantum emitters interacting via atomic matter waves in a novel regime of slow propagation.
