Modular in vivo antibody–ADC click to reverse drug resistance in tumours

Nature, Published online: 15 July 2026; doi:10.1038/s41586-026-10789-w

In vivo ligation of clinically used therapeutic antibodies via bioorthogonal click chemistry to antibody–drug conjugates leads to enhanced antitumour activity in heterogeneous and treatment-resistant tumours.

A queen odour mediates reproductive suppression in a eusocial mammal

Nature, Published online: 15 July 2026; doi:10.1038/s41586-026-10772-5

Naked mole-rat (Heterocephalus glaber) queens produce isopropyl myristate, a low-volatility ester that high-ranking animals detect and avoid, which alters prolactin and progesterone in other females to suppress reproduction and preserve eusocial hierarchy.

Highly fragmented European wetlands with uneven restoration needs

Nature, Published online: 15 July 2026; doi:10.1038/s41586-026-10760-9

Satellite imagery and machine learning used for the mapping of six seminatural open wetland types and land-use disturbance in European countries shows that wetlands are highly fragmented and have uneven restoration needs.

Universal gates from braiding and fusing anyons on quantum hardware

Nature, Published online: 15 July 2026; doi:10.1038/s41586-026-10709-y

A 54-qubit realization of non-Abelian S3 topological order demonstrates that combining anyon braiding with fusion enables universal topological quantum computation.

Quantum statistical plasmonic metacrystals

Nature, Published online: 15 July 2026; doi:10.1038/s41586-026-10782-3

A new class of materials, quantum statistical plasmonic metacrystals, is described, which can selectively transmit different types of light based only on their quantum coherence, showing bands of allowed and forbidden photon statistics.

Ammonia pressure controls colloidal metal nitride synthesis in molten salts

Nature, Published online: 15 July 2026; doi:10.1038/s41586-026-10801-3

A molten salt, high-pressure synthesis method enables solution-based production of diverse refractory metal nitride nanocrystals, expanding access to technologically important nitride materials for advanced applications.
