Chemistry World has been exploring the ‘holy grails’ of chemistry, set out almost a quarter of a century ago in Accounts of Chemical Research, as part of a special issue.

For each ‘holy grail’, researchers working in the fields today have offered their insights into where these areas of research have gone since the publication of the original articles in 1995.

Ten relevant publications are highlighted as further reading for each ‘holy grail’, and we wanted to share with you the papers highlighted in four of the grails from the Materials family of journals. Also, don’t forget to click the titles below to link through to each Chemistry World ‘holy grail’ article and read more about the progress of each topic over the last 25 years.
