Beyond The Molecular Frontier

Chemistry and chemical engineering have changed significantly in the last decade. They have broadened their scope?into biology, nanotechnology, materials science, computation, and advanced methods of process systems engineering and control?so much that the programs in most chemistry and chemical engineering departments now barely resemble the classical notion of chemistry. Beyond the Molecular Frontier brings together research, discovery, and invention across the entire spectrum of the chemical sciences?from fundamental, molecular-level chemistry to large-scale chemical processing technology. This reflects the way the field has evolved, the synergy at universities between research and education in chemistry and chemical engineering, and the way chemists and chemical engineers work together in industry.
