Picking unripe tomatoes may be good for producers, but poses a problem for consumers.

Can scientific facts and the idiosyncratic tribal culture of scientists be presented persuasively and intelligibly in the form of «science-in-fiction» and «science-in-theatre»? Here, some affirmative examples are given, emphasising the play Oxygen.

Perhaps among the features that best characterise the work of Bernadette Bensaude-Vincent, Professor of History and Philosophy of Science at the Paris-Sorbonne University, are her tireless efforts to build intellectual bridges and help us understand science in the past and present.

Johann Wolfgang Goethe's novel Elective Affinities employed chemical affinity as a metaphor and applied it to romantic relationships.

Nowadays chemistry is a reality spreading its leafy branches towards medicine and pharmacy. Chemistry is key in the search for alternative energy sources, vital for food and health.

His research earned him the 2008 Prince of Asturias Award, among many other awards and recognitions. In this interview

Miniature Universe: Challenges Facing Molecular Nanoscience. The molecular field of Nanoscience is an area as yet little explored in Nanoscience. This may be because, compared to simpler atom-based nano-objects, the larger structural and electronic complexity of molecules makes them more difficult to study at nanoscale with
