IUPAC’s 2024 Top Ten Emerging Technologies in Chemistry

Abstract: In 2019, the IUPAC started a quest to select the most interesting emerging technologies in the chemical sciences [1]. Now, this established initiative continues year after year—adding ideas to a list of innovations with an enormous potential to transform fields as diverse as materials science, energy, healthcare, agriculture and computing, among others [2]. Overall, the IUPAC “Top Ten Emerging Technologies in Chemistry” align with the United Nations’ Sustainable Development Goals, in a quest to secure a sustainable future and pave the way to a circular economy [3]. This new list delves into new materials, unexplored physical phenomena, and creative solutions to global challenges, including prevalent diseases and the still ongoing energy and fuel crisis. As in the first “Top Ten” paper, the technologies hover over a broad range of readiness—from laboratory discoveries to commercial realities, hence “emerging.” But all of them, carefully curated by a panel of experts nominated by IUPAC, are equally exciting. Read on.
