With the Aktuelle Wochenschau, the GDCh gave an overview of current research and developments in various sub-areas of chemistry such as water chemistry, biochemistry, food chemistry or sustainable chemistry from 2005 to 2019. At the end of 2019, the Aktuelle Wochenschau was discontinued as an independent service and integrated into the FaszinationChemie website.
The volumes in the HighChem series from 2005 to 2016 are based on the Online publication Aktuelle Wochenschau Review). The articles published there were adapted for journalistic and educational purposes and thematically summarized for publication by the German Chemical Society (GDCh) the following year. HighChem was aimed at a scientifically interested audience, including school students, university students, and researchers. The remaining HighChem volumes (see table below) can be ordered free of charge online from our shop. Volumes that are out of print will not be reprinted.
