Abstract
It’s no surprise that chemists from young tech companies were among the thousands who convened at the ACS national meeting in San Francisco last week. After all, the Bay Area is home to roughly a third of C&EN’s first two classes of “ start-ups to watch.” One Michigan-based company, however, wasn’t rolling out new 3-D printers or DNA biotechnology at the meeting. Alchemie Solutions is instead hoping its mobile applications will provide valuable tools for people teaching and learning organic chemistry. The company released its latest app, called Animator, just ahead of the San Francisco meeting. Attendees listening to Julia Winter, Alchemie’s founder and chief executive officer, on April 3 were thus among the first to see Animator in action. Winter spoke in a session hosted by the Division of Chemical Education. Alchemie designed Animator to enable students and teachers to create and share animations of chemical and physical processes
