Today is #SIRedefinition day. Read up on why this has come about in the Commentary by Joachim Fischer & Joachim Ullrich rdcu.be/bbusO
Dedicated readers will also known that for the past few years we've been running a dedicated column on metrology, Measure for Measure: nature.com/articles/nphys…
Feature | Over the last 15 years, the content of Nature Physics has covered an enormous breadth of subjects at the forefront of physics. The journal’s past and present editors recount their favourite papers go.nature.com/2GsD77a
Thanks to Hugo Defienne and Daniele Faccio, University of Glasgow (top left); Serim Ilday, Bilkent University – UNAM (top right and bottom left); Immanuel Bloch, Max Planck Institute of Quantum Optics (bottom right) for providing us with the images for the cover!
Our September editorial is our a little early (rest of the issue isn't due until Thursday!) This month, we take time to check in on the progress at ITER and nuclear fusion research more broadly | The way ahead for fusion go.nature.com/2ESdQCQ
