Constructor's Note
This crossword was made for a materials science department newsletter, and the content may reflect that. However, it is definitely enjoyable and solvable by a general audience.

    I enjoyed the puzzle a lot, but I don't understand the parenthetical about QUININE. Is this a technical matter, or my own failure to see something obvious (which wouldn't be the first time!)?

        Oh wow! I neither saw the pattern, nor remembered enough about the structure of quinine. Super cool!
