Nature Chemistry, Published online: 12 June 2026; doi:10.1038/s41557-026-02175-wExtreme reactivity has long hindered the study of linear atomic carbon chains (carbyne). Now it has been shown that transmetallation of suitable precursors overcomes stability issues, delivering 1D Au|Cn|Au junctions that sustain high currents through a cumulene ⋯C=C=C=C⋯ valence structure with 12 or more carbon atoms and enabling their potential for 1D electronics.

As the men’s football World Cup gets under way, how the game weighs on the health of athletes still isn’t talked about enough, says player-turned-medic Vincent Gouttebarge.

It is known that active learning is more effective than lecturing at improving learning of physics. Now it is shown that some widely used active learning approaches are more effective than others.

Nature Physics - Preferential play

In a world that can seem lacking in optimism, researchers share their opinions on books that stimulate thoughts — and actions — for a better future.

The 2025 Nobel Prize in Chemistry has been awarded to Susumu Kitagawa, Richard Robson and Omar M. Yaghi “for the development of metal–organic frameworks.”

Nature Chemistry - When the facts can’t speak for themselves, scientists can give them a voice, argues Michelle Francl.

High-entropy nanomaterials, which incorporate multiple homogeneously dispersed elements, are promising for energy conversion, but typically require complex, high-temperature synthesis. Now a scalable ...

Strategy sets free gas that normally gets trapped on electrodes in microgravity during water splitting

Some regions face a future with fewer chemists

Reactions that alter organic scaffolds by a single atom are already proving useful, but time will tell if they’ll fundamentally change how molecules are made
