So it has been a year since I started as an editor for Alchemy and over time, we made sure that if not anything else, chemistry should be the one thing on people’ s mind. We had newsletters and articles but there is something so fulfilling about reading a curated piece of information that it can’ t be expressed in words but only experienced. As one of my favorite TV characters would put it, Chemistry is a study of matter, but I’ d rather look it as a study of change, and over the past few months we have seen great changes take place around the world, be it politics or world policy. But one thing remained consistent nonetheless, and that was Science. Ever so fascinating as it was a few centuries ago to people trying to work out whether earth was flat or round, or to the coming generations of scientists trying to unravel the mysteries hidden in the core of atoms. This would be my last issue as an Editor for Elixir and hence as would any good person would do, our Alchemy Team put their hearts into making this issue, we have tried to cover a few topics which we felt were important developments over the past few months and want to show you how fast things change. A glimpse into the vast world that is changing faster than we can grasp with developments in field of micro and macro alike. We hope that you would like this issue, criticisms and suggestions are always welcome.
