About us
The American Chemical Society is a congressionally chartered independent membership organization that represents professionals at all degree levels and in all fields of the chemical sciences. With more than 150,000 members, ACS is the world’s largest scientific society and one of the world’s leading sources of authoritative scientific information. A nonprofit organization, ACS is at the forefront of the evolving chemistry enterprise and the premier professional home for chemists, chemical engineers and related professions around the globe. ACS is dynamic and visionary, committed to “Improving all people’s lives through the transforming power of chemistry.” This vision ─ developed and adopted by the ACS Board of Directors after broad consultation with the membership ─ fully complements the ACS Mission statement, which is “to advance the broader chemistry enterprise and its practitioners for the benefit of Earth and all its people.” Together, these two statements represent our ultimate reason for being and provide a strategic framework for our efforts. ACS publishes numerous scientific journals and databases, convenes major research conferences and provides educational, science policy and career programs in chemistry. We also give more than $22 million every year in grants for research in petroleum and related fields. We also play a leadership role in educating and communicating with policymakers and the general public about the importance of chemistry in our lives.

You can take this image of an adorable red panda with you, thanks to a new, compact augmented reality system incorporated into a pair of eyeglasses. The on the left is the original, and the image on the right is a projected image from the AR display further enhanced by a computer algorithm. The researchers detail their optical system’s design in ACS Photonics: https://brnw.ch/21wNsu0

Kombucha brewers are swapping out tea for fruit juices to see if they can make comparable drinks to the fizzy, funky beverage. Researchers compare the biochemistry and flavor of brews made from apple (right) and passion fruit juices (center) to kombucha (left). Did any of them make the cut?
