About this collection
This collection of editorials has two major goals. The first is to bring to the attention of the scientific community the challenges faced by the field of mechanochemistry to set people thinking about how they might contribute and, second, to form the basis for more thorough discussions in the future. We invite members of the mechanochemistry community to contribute to this by outlining topics and laying out challenges that will enable us as a community to come together to move mechanochemistry forward.
