Abstract
On looking for its relevance in today'scontext, the field presentsitself as the one that symbolizes revolutionary chemistry continually challenging the conventional wisdom and intuition, and all the while pushing the boundaries of the frontier knowledge. The field, with all its a magical appeal, castea mystical facade surrounded by an intimidating high wallthat requiresexceptional experimental skill, labor, and determination tobreaking in. These challenges render the practitioners of the trade a rare breed. The phenomenal success of the field comes from itsability to solvethe big societal problems frequently—nowonder why the areahas won nine Nobel prizes in the award's120 years of history!The fieldremains today as an unconquerable citadel holding bounties of knowledge to uncover.
