    In this cross-journal Collection, we bring together studies that address novel and existing carbon dioxide removal and carbon capture and storage methods and their potential for up-scaling, including critical questions of timing, location, and cost. We also welcome articles on methodologies that measure and verify the climate and environmental impact and explore public perceptions.

    In this collection, we want to highlight research that focuses on fragments in drug discovery. Have you found validated fragment hits for a new disease target? Maybe they unlocked an unreported enzyme mechanism? Were you able to develop a method that is useful for fragment-based drug discovery? Perhaps you found a hit that made it to clinical trials? We invite all scientists who work with fragments in the context of drug discovery to submit their interesting fragment stories. We look forward to hearing all about them.

    This collection encourages submissions related to hydrogen evolution catalysis, particularly where hydrogen gas is the primary product. This is a cross-journal partnership between the Energy Materials team at Nature Communications with Communications Chemistry, Communications Engineering, Communications Materials, and Scientific Reports. We seek studies covering a range of perspectives including materials design & development, catalytic performance, or underlying mechanistic understanding. Other works focused on potential applications and large-scale demonstration of hydrogen evolution are also welcome.
