We are pleased to introduce Communications Sustainability, a new, editorially selective open-access journal from the Nature Portfolio. We are open for submissions and looking to publish articles that contribute to making the world more sustainable.

We welcome submissions to our curated open collections:

Crude oil is a mixture of different hydrocarbons, and their separation remains challenging. This study by Gengwu Zhang and co-authors shows a molecular sieve that allows for direct, selective and sustainable isolation of valuable components.
