Chemistry Quote of the Day

"Synthetic efficiency is in reality limited only by scientific principles and the boundary conditions of our planet, rather than by economical and biological factors. Chemists are thus encouraged to develop truly efficient processes at all costs, and the key phrase in this context should be 'Practical Elegance'."

-Ryoji Noyori, Green Chem., 2003, 5, G37-G39
