Top Emerging Technologies in Chemistry project is designed to show the value of Chemistry and to inform the general public as to how the chemical sciences contribute to the well-being of society and the sustainability of Planet Earth. Every year ,the jury established by IUPAC’s Centenary selects emerging technologies on the basis of those in between a new scientific discovery and a fully-commercialized technology, and those with the greatest capacity to open new opportunities in chemistry and beyond.
Below you will find a list of 2024 and 2023 finalists.
The 2024 finalists are

- Follow this link for a summary of emerging technologies of 2023: chemint_oct2023.pdf Links to an external site.
From the above lists, pick one emerging technology in chemistry, and prepare a one page poster which explains the new technology, theory behind it, examples of applications, references, etc..
