The American Chemical Society's (ACS) In Focus is a collection of ebook primers that provide overviews in the sciences, designed for readers who need thorough yet concise material on topics outside of their field of expertise. Primers can be read in 4-6 hours. Topics include emerging and cross-disciplinary subjects not traditionally taught in an undergraduate chemistry curriculum.

Features include a pop-up glossary, video interviews with scientists, animations, and weblinks to related content.
