Mechanochemistry is one of the oldest areas of chemistry, but one with significant potential to contribute to a more sustainable future. In 2019 IUPAC named it as one of the ten emerging technologies in chemistry. Like every field, mechanochemistry has its own challenges and opportunities. In our ongoing Editorial series Moving Mechanochemistry Forward, we explore these challenges and opportunities to help inspire researchers and move the field forward.

“It is rare that a journal has the privilege of helping to create a new sub-branch of chemistry but, having done so, it has the obligation of helping to define the field and, optimistically, suggesting how the field might develop.”
The RSC Mechanochemistry Editorial Board |
