Chemistry is in every aspect of the universe. Why? Atoms and sub-atomic particles are the building blocks on a fundamental level. On a much larger scale, atoms combine in specific configurations to make a huge variety of molecules. From the molecules that make up the skin on our bodies to the exterior of a space shuttle, the span is vast and continually increasing. All with wildly different functions.
Technology has advanced our society beyond limits previously thought attainable. What are the problems which still plague chemistry? Below is a video from ACS Axial, which briefly introduces problems that are still beyond the reach of scientists. Some of which would seem attainable are still completely beyond our reach at the present state of technology. Enjoy!
The scientific pursuit is limitless. Meaning, there is no limit (as of yet we know of). Questions arise daily, which opens up more avenues to further problems. Technology must be available to be able either to ask such questions or even attempt to answer them. In this light, science is an open-ended adventure that many pursue daily.
On the other hand, many people outside of direct scientific investigations push science forward too by their indirect curiosity. As technology progresses, the human mind moves forward in seeking a greater understanding of itself. Outside of direct science, fields like science fiction writing/production move the needle forward in an indirect manner. The underlying momentum is the curiosity that drives us as a human race ahead.
The questions laid out in the video above are the current path forward for scientists. That is not to say that more problems are unanswered and await to be asked of society. The future is exciting, as is the present.
