Chemistry International Volume 48, Issue 1
TOC and full issue on degruyterbrill.com/ci
cover: Three issues of PAC are devoted to a special topic inspired by the celebration of the International Year of Quantum Science and Technology. This CI cover presents a visual collage drawn from a selection of abstract images submitted with the invited contributions. Guest editors Russell J. Boyd and Manuel Yañez extended invitations to more than 50 leading researchers in quantum chemistry in late 2024, with the aim of assembling 20 or more articles highlighting the impact of quantum science and technology across chemistry, materials science, and related disciplines. The resulting collection is broad in scope. Read preface page 34.
