Cover-art showing how a flat and only one atom thick surface with different functional groups can pull small molecules from air with different level of forces or also called adsorption binding energies. The review discusses the mathematical methods (some of them are originally developed by the authors) that allows to calculate the binding energies involved.

See the latest SSPC education based publication on the RACE Project. The programme uses a modular design to create bespoke learning so that the PhD students can improve their science communication to lay and technical audiences. The results show that participants learn the most when they have to put theory into practice in a live setting http://ow.ly/LyhT50uz7rg Science Foundation Ireland

This book brings together fifteen contributions from presenters at the 25th IUPAC International Conference on Chemistry Education 2018. It offers insights into the application of learning theories in chemistry combined with practical experience in implementing teaching strategies....
