Chemistry In Japan
Abstract
AsiaChem’s Editor-in-Chief has started a tradition of focusing on chemistry in specific member countries within the Asia-Pacific expanse and which echoes the Federation of Asian Chemical Societies (FACS). With the December 2021 edition, AsiaChem covers the wealth of Chemistry in Japan.
AsiaChem Editor-in-Chief Ehud Keinan prefaced the issue by recalling that Japan has always been a science powerhouse. He noted that of the 29 Japanese Nobel Prize Laureates, 21 received the prize since 2000, and that the rapidly increasing trend of awarding Asian scientists with major prizes parallels other trends: “First, the center of gravity of the global scientific activity follows the apparent shift of the world economy from North America and Europe to Asia. Second, Asian countries notoriously known for their brain drain have become increasingly attractive to their scientists, thus, shifting the balance between brain drain and brain gain.”
The issue comprises a broad variety of articles on cutting-edge science, history, essays, and interviews, serving a wide readership worldwide.
