How might my cat lining up socks relate to chemistry science experiments?

My cat has started bringing me socks and laying them in a perfect line every evening

That is cute and kinda odd I can picture a little sock trail turning into your cat's own hallway from laundry to desk.

Could be just a habit or comfort thing not a trend, socks are easy to grab so she makes a little route.

In my house my cat did something similar with laundry and it felt like a tiny nightly ritual.

If it keeps going you could try a simple fix like a dedicated toy path or a few extra blankets so she sticks to it and everyone stays happy.
