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

- Preparation of thermal and ground states is needed for a number of quantum algorithms but is generally computationally difficult. Now state preparation algorithms with efficiency guarantees have been developed for an important class of model. nature.com/articles/s4156…
- Systems of coupled self-propulsive components, both biological and synthetic, display coordinated dynamics. Experiments with 3D printed motors now show that rotary motion can lead to spatiotemporal order as well as disorder-induced wave propagation. nature.com/articles/s4156…
- Wigner crystals have been observed in transition metal dichalcogenides, but their collective excitations have not been shown. Now the signatures of these excitations are revealed in the optical spectra of a charge-tunable monolayer semiconductor.
- Wigner crystals have been observed in 2D semiconductors, but their internal dynamics have been largely inaccessible. Now this is demonstrated in a monolayer semiconductor. nature.com/articles/s4156…
