🧪 Columbus has been a chemistry powerhouse since 1909. Chemical Abstracts Service (CAS), founded by William A. Noyes, has been abstracting and analyzing scientific publications from its Columbus home for over 115 years. After moving to Ohio State University in 1909, CAS expanded significantly in 1965 with a new building and computer center to house its Chemical Registry System. By 1973, the organization was reviewing 400,000 research reports annually and publishing a weekly journal with 7,000 abstracts. CAS continued innovating with the launch of SciFinder in 1995, allowing scientists to search databases from personal computers, and in 2022 released nearly 500,000 registry numbers under an open license.
