Celebrating National Chemistry Week

National Chemistry Week celebrates the impact chemistry has on the world – this year it shines a light on the way chemistry contributes through color.

With 285 chemistry journals, Elsevier publishes some of the world’s top color-related research, strengthening the impact researchers can have in the real world.

To mark National Chemistry Week, we are providing free access to ten chemistry articles published in 2015 that brighten up the world.
