2015 is the International Year of Light (IYL 2015). It aims to raise awareness of how optical technologies promote sustainable development and provide solutions to worldwide challenges in energy, education, agriculture, communications, and health.
In this context, ChemistryViews.org invites you to write about chemistry and light. Topics can range from spectroscopy, photochemistry to how chemistry and light interact in aspects of our everyday life. Students as well as post-docs, professors, chemists from industry are cordially invited to participate.
