New
Frontiers in Chemistry
Twenty-first-century chcmistry has narrowed into units such as
instrumental analysis, biochemistry, chcmical engineering, and colloids.
Chemistry has progressed from an assembly o f facts to a statement of
laws, and thermodynamics of chcmical reactions to a study of atomic
structure. It is also an age o f practical applications which contribute to an
improved standard of living. Man has learned to surpass nature as he
explores the methods by which living matter is produced. To create a better
environment, empirical studies of the past have been replaced by an
assurance that any type of matter may be synthesized or analysed with
time and effort.
The great frontiers of our world and our universe that await the explorer
and the pioneer of the beginning of the twenty-first
ccntury arc scientific
rather than geographic. The past achievements of chcmistry, the “miraclc”
drugs, the superior explosives, the new plastics, the synthetic fibres, the
improved gasolines, and the rocket fuels, have received great publicity,
but much remains to be done. New types of matter, new applications o f
known principles, and — most important of all — further correlation and
interpretation of known facts and the development of new and more general
principles await the coming of new scientific workers with energy, talent,
and good training. In addition, there arc great opportunities for those who
would apply to the benefit o f mankind die findings o f scicncc. Cures for
cancer and other human ills are needed, as arc new materials for
construction to meet the needs of our daily life, better fabrics, stronger
metals and plastics, and better sources of energy. As we live in the spacc
age, new chcmical problems confront us, and the great problem of the
chemistry of the living cell is still with us, the promise for the future is
unlimited.
