chemicaland

Chemicaland is a neologism that does not have a single, formal definition. In casual or speculative contexts it is used to describe the intersection or union of chemical science with other domains such as data analytics, materials science, environmental sustainability, and policy. The term is typically rendered as one word or used as a branded name for projects, courses, or companies.

Usage and interpretations: In academic writing or industry branding, chemicaland may appear in project titles, course catalogs, startup names, or research themes. Depending on the author, it can connote the integration of chemistry with computation and modeling (akin to chemoinformatics), with life-cycle assessment and sustainability, or with design and manufacturing processes. Because there is no standard definition, the precise scope—whether it emphasizes theory, application, or policy—varies by context.

Relation to established terms: It is not a recognized technical term in standard chemical sciences. When used, it should be defined explicitly to avoid ambiguity. It should not replace conventional terminology such as chemistry, chemical engineering, materials science, or data science.

Related concepts commonly associated with the idea include green chemistry, chemoinformatics, data science, materials science, and process engineering. In formal writing, the term is typically avoided unless clearly defined by the author or organization.
