🌱 The Nexus has a new home.

To better reach the global community working in green and sustainable chemistry, we’ve moved ACS GCI's The Nexus to a new platform designed to improve visibility and make it easier to discover content across ACS.

What’s changing:
• The original Nexus blog has been retired
• Over 1,000 legacy posts will be archived
• Recent and evergreen articles will be republished on the new platform
• New content will be posted regularly
• The Nexus Newsletter will now be issued monthly with a streamlined roundup of new articles

What’s not changing: our mission. We remain committed to connecting the global green chemistry and engineering community by sharing research, resources, opportunities, and stories advancing sustainable development.

Have a story, idea, or perspective to share? We’d love to hear from you!
