Nature Chemical Engineering is launching in early 2024, but in the meantime, here is a curated collection of 40 articles from across the Nature Portfolio to highlight the potential breadth and scope of the journal.

Chemical Engineering Distilled

Chemical Engineering is vital to overcoming society’s most pressing and time-sensitive challenges in a realizable, reliable, and scalable manner.

Well, that’s a first. Got to Kings Cross and train cancelled (that’s not a first, sadly), so decided to grab some take-away dinner to eat outside. Moment I step in the shop, a fellow customer (crazy-haired elderly chap) tells me how I’m ruining my health and giving myself heart disease. No, not because of the food at Wasabi, but because I’m wearing a mask. He continues to tell me about his friend at Pfizer who agreed with him & how masks do nothing. I politely disagree with (& then ignore) him.

Time for a boulevardier!

Having a clear-out of the CDs from my (mostly misspent) youth; shame I never saw New Model Army live (saw the rest though). These later Mission albums mostly shit, but I’m keeping the earlier ones… currently blasting them out courtesy of Apple Music…

Check it out! Dave Smith, Peter O'Brien and co-workers at York University have developed gels that make organolithiums stable under ambient conditions FOR OVER 20 DAYS   

It's a total game-changer for synthesis in academia and industry. Imagine the applications!

Gel capsules make reactions with organolithiums simpler and safer

Low-cost gels improve the handling and storage of traditionally dangerous organometallics, expanding applications and possibilities in synthesis

Well, this one was a little challenging; tasted like a strong flat cider - not unpleasant, but probably not a buy again. Picked it up in #Arbois as it’s an unusual grape, but also #SousVoile
