The Fascination of Chemistry

The Fascination of Chemistry

Through this portal run by the German Chemical Society, we aim to give you an insight into the diversity – and the fascination – of chemistry. On the one hand, we want to provide you with information on various topics; on the other, we want to show you that chemistry can be fun.

More on the Fascination of Chemistry

- What is insulin?
- What are tattoos made of?
- How did arsenic come to be known as ‘inheritance powder’?
- Is bisphenol A dangerous?

These and other questions are answered in Fascination with Chemistry. The articles range in difficulty from ‘easy to understand’ to ‘for those with an interest in chemistry’. The articles explore fascinating aspects of chemistry, current controversies and ‘fun facts’ from the world of chemistry.

Faszination Chemie is a service provided by the German Chemical Society (GDCh). The GDCh’s public relations department is responsible for the site.
