Top names choose Chemical Science

01 June 2010

What connects Michael Ashfold, Stephen Buchwald, Seth Cohen, Thomas Kodadek, Kopin Liu, David Parker, Andreas Pfaltz and J. Fraser Stoddart? 

As well as being world-renowned researchers in their respective fields, they have chosen to submit their research to Chemical Science, and now they are among the first authors to have articles published online. 

From molecular probes and new hydrogenation catalysts to orexin potentiators and promiscuous 'blue box' receptors, there's something for everyone. 

The journal is set to represent the best new thinking in the chemical sciences - which you will see from the quality of the initial content. 

The articles are available now - and access is free. Which means you can read this exceptional research today. You can be alerted to new content, and other related news, by signing up for the Chemical Science newsletter. And if you want to be seen with the best, submit your work to Chemical Science. 

Recognition starts here. 

RSC Publishing announces Food & Function

Food scientists will soon have a new journal at their disposal to stay at the forefront of new scientific developments in this highly interdisciplinary area. Food & Function will be a monthly peer-reviewed journal providing a dedicated venue for research relating to the chemical and physical properties of food components and their nutritional and health benefits in humans. The journal will provide a home for chemists, physicists and nutritionists working in the food sector, allowing them to keep abreast of each other's interdisciplinary work.

Food & Function is due to launch in the last quarter of 2010 and will be headed by Gary Williamson as editor-in-chief. He is the Professor of Functional Food in the School of Food Science and Nutrition at the University of Leeds, UK. Submissions are now open and associate editors Cesar Fraga (UC Davis, US) and Steven Feng Chen (University of Hong Kong, China) look forward to receiving research articles, including communications, reviews and full papers.

From launch the latest issue of Food & Function will be made freely available to all readers via the website. Free institutional access to all online content during 2010 and 2011 will be available following a simple registration process. 

And finally.

Don't miss your last chance to register for Macro 2010, the 43rd IUPAC World Polymer Congress which will take place in Glasgow from 11-16 July 2010. Organised by the Royal Society of Chemistry and hosted by the Pure and Applied Macromolecular Chemistry Group (Macro Group UK), the conference is divided into 8 themes focusing on polymer science in the service of society. For further details of the full programme and speakers, and to register, visit the website.
