NSERC Discovery Grants totaling $19 million have been awarded to Western University researchers working on innovative science and engineering projects.

Nature Chemistry, Published online: 17 June 2026; doi:10.1038/s41557-026-02184-9There is limited understanding of nickel-catalysed chemistry in nature. Now a bioinformatic pipeline reveals a structurally distinct family of nickel pincer nucleotide-dependent enzymes. Nickel pincer hydride transferase (NphT) was found to catalyse intermolecular hydride transfer by characterizing its crystal structure, conducting structure-guided mutagenesis and measuring its capacity to disproportionate sugars.

Nature Catalysis, Published online: 14 January 2026; doi:10.1038/s41929-025-01473-9Nickel-catalysed cross-coupling reactions generally use Ni(II) or Ni(0) precatalysts. Here the authors report thermally stable dinuclear Ni(I) complexes with commercial isocyanide ligands for the efficient catalysis in Kumada, Suzuki–Miyaura and Buchwald–Hartwig cross-coupling reactions.
