What is the Challenge?

The Challenge: Molecules are collections of atoms connected together in a specific way. Even constrained to those elements most used (C, N, H, O, P, S) the number of possible molecules, even using small numbers of atoms, is vast  – AND every molecule has different properties. It is unsurprising then that much of modern life …
