“I have no special talent. I am only passionately curious.”

- Albert Einstein, 1879 - 1955

Big discoveries usually starts with the smallest ideas. The answer to one question often leads to a set of new, perhaps better, questions and moves our imagination another step forward.

Molecular Frontiers will award prizes to those who ask the BEST QUESTIONS! The winners are announced once a year at a Molecular Frontiers Symposium - where top scientists and young people meet !

Do you have any small OR big question?

If you are up to 17 years old and have a question about molecules, send it to us.
