Abstract

As a celebration of this year's National Chemistry Week theme, the cover of this issue tries to capture the joy of playing with bubbles. There is nothing quite like the kaleidoscopic rainbow of colors and wetly wild elastic behavior of soap films and bubbles for experiencing the pure joy of a "toy".
