Science & Technology IUPAC’s Top 10 Emerging Technologies in Chemistry From wearable sensors to large language models and bio-recycling – these ten innovative technologies are shaping not only the world of chemistry, but the future of our planet.
Science & Technology The Periodic Table and the Lanthanides 2019 has been designated as the “International Year of the Periodic Table of Chemical Elements” (IYPT2019), celebrating the 150th anniversary of Mendeleev’s discovery of the system (1869).
Science & Technology Lead: A Chameleon-Type Metal Ion. Its Use and Effects on Environment and Health Lead is one of the oldest metals known to man and therefore it deserves special emphasis in the international year of the Periodic Table of the Elements (2019). Its essentiality has been discussed but not demonstrated, yet its toxicity has already been recognized by Greek and Arab scholars.
Science & Technology Zinc: the galvanizing chameleon Jules Raulin, a student of Louis Pasteur, made a seminal discovery on zinc’s essential role in a microorganism’s growth. 150 years later, growing questions about this integral and essential element revolve around its purpose for our everyday lives.
