I am currently writing a science fiction novel and I am trying to inject as much real science into it as I can. I can kind of hold my own with topics like physics and astronomy, but what eludes me is a decent understanding of chemistry. I am hoping you, or someone in your department, could help me solve a design problem I have with a futuristic tool, which I have conceptualized for the book. 

Please, email me back if you are interested in getting more information about the design and wish to help, or if you can direct me to someone who can / will.
