Birgit Esser, Full Professor of Organic Chemistry at Ulm University, talks to Nature Synthesis about the challenges of synthesizing conjugated nanohoops and other aromatic systems.
Renana Gershoni-Poranne, Branco Weiss fellow and assistant professor at the Technion - Israel Institute of Technology, talks to Nature Synthesis about probing aromatic molecules with computational tools.
Ammonia synthesis is one of the most important chemical processes as it sustains global food production, but it is a highly polluting and energy-intensive process. Here, the challenges of decarbonizing the process to synthesize green ammonia are discussed.
In this issue, we focus on the combination of techniques such as machine learning, artificial intelligence, robotics and automation for the synthesis of chemicals and materials.
