  • Modern life depends on the petrochemical industry — most drugs, paints and plastics derive from oil. But current processes for making chemical products are not sustainable in terms of resources and environmental impact. Green chemistry aims to tackle this problem, and real progress is being made.

  • The periodic table is immensely powerful for rationalizing many different properties of the chemical elements, but would turning it on its head make some important aspects easier to understand and give everyone a new perspective on chemistry?

  • Scientists worldwide are urged to communicate their research to the public, but what is the best way to judge the effectiveness of their efforts? Using our YouTube chemistry channel as an example, we highlight the unexpected difficulty of measuring the 'impact' of such outreach activities.

  • Two semi-synthetic processes for the production of the antimalarial natural product artemisinin have been developed by applying the principles of green chemistry. Solvent manipulation allows catalyst recycling and reduction of waste, ultimately leading to a purification-free process with lower environmental and economic costs; a potential contribution to the world-wide fight against malaria.

  • The polymer nylon-6 is much in demand. An innovation in producing the precursor molecule, ε-caprolactam, involves a one-step process that is environmentally benign and may be scaled up for bulk production.

  • Developing cleaner chemical processes often involves sophisticated flow-chemistry equipment that is not available in many economically developing countries. For reactions where it is the data that are important rather than the physical product, the networking of chemists across the internet to allow remote experimentation offers a viable solution to this problem.
