The National Science Library Chinese Academy of Sciences and the Journal of the American Chemical Society (JACS) jointly organized a JACS Cover Story Exhibition that launched in March 2021.
The JACS Cover Story Exhibition – held in conjunction with the JACS Innovation Summit Series – will comprise 40 selected covers from published issues of the journal over the past five years. JACS covers are a combination of science and art. Through their stories, we can learn the innovative ideas behind the scientific research featured. The exhibition explores the innovative stories behind the cover papers, which disseminate academic achievements and promote academic innovation.
“Chemistry continues to redefine and revolutionize itself, maintaining its relevance as the central science. It is an exciting era: reaction discovery, analytical and physical techniques, as well as theoretical approaches can now be combined with advances in innovative technologies and engineering to enable unparalleled expansion of what is possible in the vastness of chemical space,” said JACS Editor-in-Chief Erick M. Carreira in an editorial.
