This month we celebrate Nature Physics' twentieth birthday, consider the flexoelectricity of water ice, and feature a Perspective on chiral phonons.

Given the general dissatisfaction in the community with the performance of Reviewer 2, Nature Physics will, from now on, only ask the opinions of Reviewers 1, 3, and 4.
Happy World Metrology Day! Today, 7 fundamental constants of nature are redefined as exact numerical values, in turn redefining base units such as the metre and the kilogram. Find out more about this reformation in Bill Philips' #MeasureForMeasure column | go.nature.com/endofartefacts
It has been around fifty years since Kenneth Wilson’s work on the renormalization group. We celebrate this anniversary with a collection of Comments on its development and applications.

Our May issue is live! This month we look at quantum holography, we examine efficacy of backward contact tracing in networks, and we celebrate the recent measurement of the muon’s anomalous magnetic moment go.nature.com/3f2MsAi
The ergodicity problem in economics | @ole_b_peters argues that by carefully addressing the question of ergodicity, many puzzles besetting the current economic formalism are resolved in a natural and empirically testable way
Online this week: Schrödinger cat states have now been observed in intense laser-atom interactions. They are a superposition of the initial state of the laser and the coherent state that results from the interaction between the light and atoms. Free to r… instagr.am/p/CS_QuwTDz4S/
In our October issue: Network representations of complex systems are limited to pairwise interactions, but real-world systems often involve higher-order interactions. A Perspective looks at the new physics emerging from attempts to characterize these int… instagr.am/p/CV0XAByMWcM/
Interdisciplinarity in biological physics
Our December issue features a focus on how inter- (and multi-)disciplinary work has driven this fascinating field forwards.

Quantum optical skyrmions are promising for quantum photonic applications but have not been experimentally realized. Now nanophotonic quantum skyrmions are generated using a semiconductor quantum dot–Gaussian microcavity quantum electrodynamics system.

The renormalization group is a powerful tool to study the universal properties of physical systems. A diffusion-based renormalization scheme now enables the study of scale invariance and universality in higher-order complex networks.
