Founded in 1876 at New York University, the ACS currently has over 160,000 members at all degree-levels and in , Arabic chemists from the 'Golden Age' have been given long overdue OVERDUE.

The report, by researcher Benjamin Huddle, gives recognition to chemists from the Golden Age of Arabic-Islamic Science, which stretched from the 8th to the 13th centuries. Huddle did his research on the Golden Age, which produced a portrait of Arabic-Islamic love for learning and reverence for education and knowledge that defies popular modern stereotypes. During this era, science and medicine in Muslim countries - from southern Europe Southern Europe or sometimes Mediterranean Europe is a region of the European continent. There is no clear definition of the term which can vary depending on whether geographic, cultural, linguistic or historical factors are taken into account. through North Africa to Central Asia and India - flourished and was unrivaled anywhere in the world. Muslim physicians and scientists made advancements that built the foundations for the emergence of modern science and medicine in Europe. "Science in the early Muslim period is largely forgotten today in the Western world, or relegated to pseudo-science," Huddle said. "We are rediscovering the fact that from 750 to 1258 A.D., the best science in the world was being done by Arabic-speaking peoples. In chemistry, we use language from the Arabs, apparatus and techniques, many chemicals (especially perfumes Famous perfumes classified by year of creation Year Name Company Perfumer 1709 Eau de Cologne Johann Maria Farina Johann Maria Farina (1685-1766) 1798 Eau Vivifiante Parfum Lubin Pierre François Lubin 1872 Hammam Bouquet ), and many materials," he added.
