When drug discovery fails: scientists share their frustrations with the process

Nature, Published online: 10 June 2026; doi:10.1038/d41586-026-01797-x In clinical trials, there are many times (and ways) a therapeutic can come up short.

Light slows down carbon nanotubes in water

Nature, Published online: 10 June 2026; doi:10.1038/d41586-026-01701-7 Water-suspended carbon nanotubes move more slowly in green light, suggesting that excited electrons in the tubes couple to the water through ‘quantum friction’.

Rocks falling from melting icebergs host deep-sea oases of biodiversity

Nature, Published online: 10 June 2026; doi:10.1038/d41586-026-01835-8 A ripple effect of climate change is providing habitat for corals, sponges and other Arctic animals.
