Here's our pick of the ones to watch out for.Buckinghamshire-based EdTech startup MEL Science has taken VR to the chemistry lab. Russian physicist Vassili Philippov founded the company to teach his children about science through a combination of practical training and virtual reality. The startup kit includes a cardboard VR headset, chemistry equipment, and two sets of experiments to start. Another two are delivered to their door every month of the subscription. After conducting a real experiment with the equipment, budding chemists can don the goggles, boot the MEL Science app, and explore their work on a molecular level, viewing, manipulating and even building atoms.
