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

- Impulsive ionization initiates ultrafast electron motion in molecules, but its early dynamics remain difficult to probe. Now attosecond X-ray absorption spectroscopy has been used to track the response dynamics of ionized para-aminophenol. nature.com/articles/s4156…
- Silicon–vacancy spins can be used in phononic quantum devices, but improvements in coherence times are still required. It has now been shown that the spin coherence can be protected by continuous driving using acoustic waves. nature.com/articles/s4156…
- Directly observing how a coherent global phase forms has long been challenging. Now an incoherent magnon gas is observed to transform into a state with a macroscopic global phase, confirming a key prediction of Bose–Einstein condensation theory.
- Quantum error correction typically encodes one logical qubit across many physical qubits. An experiment now encodes and corrects a qubit within the multiple internal states of a single trapped ion, reducing errors and extending the coherence time. nature.com/articles/s4156…
