Briefings
A 2026 Nature article argues that supply chain disruptions are frequently caused by energy, computer, or data-network failures. The article proposes that addressing these requires a method to make interdependencies visible. The study was published online on October 6, 2026, with a DOI of 10.1038/d41586-026-03105-z. The evidence is limited to a single sentence describing the problem and the proposed solution, offering no specific data, case studies, or quantitative results.
