Carbon nanotubes have long been recognized as the stiffest and strongest man-made
material known to date. In addition, their high electrical conductivity has roused interest in …

Although fire is now rarely used in synthetic chemistry, it was not until Robert Bunsen
invented the burner in 1855 that the energy from this heat source could be applied to a …

Tailored to the needs of medicinal and natural products chemists, the second edition of this
