The Braille Authority of North America (BANA) established in 2013 an Ad Hoc committee on Chemistry to revise the Chemistry Braille Code adopted in 1997. This committee consists of three totally blind chemists, and two professional Braille transcribers. The Committee has 1) explored how to standardize the way the Periodic Table is represented in Braille; 2) examined how acronyms and abbreviations can best be reflective of the new Unified English Braille Code recently adopted in the United States; and 3) collaborated with the Tactile Graphics Committee of BANA on standard ways to present molecular drawings. The advent of new Braille embossing and 3-d printing technologies provides for additional approaches for representing chemical concepts. . Louis Braille . Early life. .
