Physical Chemistry Chemical Physics (Phys. Chem. Chem. Phys. or PCCP) is a peer-reviewed scientific journal publishing original (primary) research and review articles on any aspect of physical chemistry, chemical physics, and biophysical chemistry. It is published weekly by the Royal Society of Chemistry (RSC) on behalf of seventeen participating societies.
Philip Earis is the editor of PCCP and the present chairman of the Editorial Board is Pekka Pyykkö, Professor of Chemistry at University of Helsinki. The Editorial Board comprises leading international scientists who meet regularly to discuss all scientific matters concerned with the Journal; in particular the standards necessary for the acceptance of papers for publication, the standards of refereeing, and ways and means of acquiring suitable papers for publication.
PCCP replaced Faraday Transactions in 1999; it continues a close association with the Faraday Division of the RSC and the unique Faraday Discussions meetings and publications.
Biophysical chemistry is a rapidly expanding area of physical chemistry, and biophysical papers are an important part of PCCP. PCCP has been selected by the US National Library of Medicine for inclusion in MEDLINE, thereby increasing its visibility to the biophysical and biological communities. Significant and newsworthy articles appearing in PCCP are also featured in the RSC supplements Highlights in Chemical Science, Highlights in Chemical Technology and Highlights in Chemical Biology. PCCP hosts the RSC publication, Highlights in Chemical Science.

Famous quotes containing the words physical, chemistry, chemical and/or physics:
“Those things which now most engage the attention of men, as politics and the daily routine, are, it is true, vital functions of human society, but should be unconsciously performed, like the corresponding functions of the physical body.”
—Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)
“...some sort of false logic has crept into our schools, for the people whom I have seen doing housework or cooking know nothing of botany or chemistry, and the people who know botany and chemistry do not cook or sweep. The conclusion seems to be, if one knows chemistry she must not cook or do housework.”
—Ellen Henrietta Swallow Richards (1842–1911)
“Ants are so much like human beings as to be an embarrassment. They farm fungi, raise aphids as livestock, launch armies into war, use chemical sprays to alarm and confuse enemies, capture slaves, engage in child labor, exchange information ceaselessly. They do everything but watch television.”
—Lewis Thomas (b. 1913)
“Now the twitching stops. Now you are still. We are through with physiology and theology, physics begins.”
—Alfred Döblin (1878–1957)
