Chemistry made mobile – the expanding world of chemistry in the hand

<p>Mobile devices are now mainstream handheld computers providing access to computational power and storage that a decade ago was available only on desktop computers. In terms of chemistry informatics the majority of capabilities that were previously found only on desktop computers is fast migrating to mobile devices making use of the combination of powerful visualization capabilities, fast cloud-based calculations, websites optimized for the mobile platforms, and delivering “apps”. This presentation will provide an overview of how access to chemistry continues to be made increasingly mobile and specifically on how the Royal Society of Chemistry is contributing to this computing environment.
