Space Chemistry: a Key to Fostering Space Exploration

Have you ever wondered if chemistry is different in space than on the ground? Can chemistry be performed using and taking advantage of the extreme conditions in space? Novel challenges of space research require an enhanced role for chemistry. The discussion will cover a wide range of pioneering chemistry technologies from space perspectives, including flow chemistry, photoelectrochemistry, and more novel trends in chemistry. These innovations are also facilitating Mars exploration, including human expeditions.
