Grand Challenges in Chemistry for 2016 and Beyond

W hen several ACS Central Science Editors met for dinner at the 2015 Pacifichem meeting, conversation turned to the grand challenges facing science and society, and those we felt chemistry was in a unique position to solve. With the New Year, we thought we would share our ideas in our first editorial of 2016. The arenas in which we see chemistry having the largest influence are the molecular ba...

The Reactive Synthesis Competition: SYNTCOMP 2016 and Beyond

We report on the design of the third reactive synthesis competition (SYNTCOMP 2016), including a major extension of the competition to specifications in full linear temporal logic. We give a brief overview of the synthesis problem as considered in SYNTCOMP, and present the rules of the competition in 2016, as well as the ideas behind our design choices. Furthermore, we evaluate the recent chang...

Microfluidic applications for andrology.

Perhaps one of the most exciting and revolutionary scientific discoveries of the past 3 decades has been the development of in vitro fertilization (IVF) to treat human infertility. It is impossible to quantify its effect on numerous families since the first IVF birth in 1978 in Oldham, England (Steptoe and Edwards, 1978). With increasing clinical utilization of assisted reproductive technologie...
