Top 100 in Physics | Scientific Reports

The Scientific Reports team is pleased to announce the most read* articles from 2023 in Physics. Featuring authors from around the world, these papers highlight valuable research from an international community.

The growing needs to understand climate change and to facilitate energy transition have heightened the significance of geophysics. Near-surface geophysics, geophysical exploration for renewable energy, and geophysical studies on the environmental impacts of human activities are some of the key topics highlighted in 2023.

We invite you to take a look at our Top 100 in Physics Collection. Inside, you will be able to learn more about the use of muon radiography technique to study the shallow subsurface for archaeological explorations, the viability of  applying  iron-rich meteoritic and volcanic particles to catalyze the fixation of CO2, the radiological hazard from deep sea mining, and the association between the disruption to  the Earth’s magnetic field and the avian vagrancy of migratory birds, and more.

Congratulations to all authors who contributed to these highly valuable research papers!
