My Chemical Story: The accidental chemist (opens the original)
Read excerpt
My Chemical Story: The accidental chemist Becoming a chemist was the best decision I never made Profiles focusing on the emotional journey of people in chemistry. I like to say I’m an accidental chemist. It wasn’t possible to control your own destiny when I was in high school 45 years ago. In the China I grew up in, your future was decided by where you were born, by your elders, and by the government. I didn’t choose to study chemistry. I didn't even choose where I went to college. But when you

Paper-based power source worked inside pigs for a few days, then vanished in weeks The latest chemistry news, including important research advances, business and policy trends, chemical safety practices, career guidance, and more. Researchers have been plugging away at ingestible devices that collect data, deliver drugs, and monitor health inside the body. These devices need power. But conventional batteries are rigid, take up space, and can injure or obstruct the GI tract. For a more palatable

New perovskite pushes the limits of heat insulation Thin, stiff material could easily coat batteries and electronics The latest chemistry news, including important research advances, business and policy trends, chemical safety practices, career guidance, and more. Perovskites have heated up the clean energy world with high-efficiency solar cells. Now researchers have made a hybrid perovskite that blocks heat better than any other dense solid. The material could be printed or sprayed to make a ri

This recyclable tape is stronger than duct tape Monomaterial design sets example for keeping plastic packaging out of landfill The latest chemistry news, including important research advances, business and policy trends, chemical safety practices, career guidance, and more. Chemists at Virginia Tech (VT) have made an adhesive tape that has more sticky powers than Scotch tape and duct tape but can be fully recycled after use (Adv. Funct. Mater. 2026, DOI: 10.1002/adfm.77687). Just like food packa

Metal powders power rockets. Researchers want to burn them for zero-carbon energy on Earth Recurring stories and special news packages from C&EN. Humanity’s love affair with fossil fuels has good reason. They are abundant, cheap, and packed with energy. They burn dirty, however, and their climate and health impacts have prompted the hunt for alternatives such as biomass, ammonia, and hydrogen. But there is another class of materials that, when burned, release vast amounts of heat without harmful
