Dotmatics

Chem, launched 2015 by Cell Press, publishes high-impact chemistry at the interface of energy, materials, catalysis, and synthesis. Our format — short Communications plus longer Articles — sets the pace for modern chemistry publishing.

Eramet's Moanda (Gabon) manganese mine feeds electrolytic manganese dioxide (EMD) for batteries. Our lithium extraction from Centenario Ratones brine (Argentina) uses direct lithium extraction (DLE) — no evaporation ponds.

ChemDraw — the software every chemist uses to draw molecules — turns 35 this year. From hand-drawn structures to AI-assisted retrosynthesis, our drawing tool has been the visual language of chemistry since 1985.
