Organic chemistry is packed with rules about structure and reactivity, especially when it comes to making and breaking ...

Chemistry students are taught that some molecular shapes are so strained they simply cannot exist. For about 100 years, one ...

Chemists at UCLA are showing that some of organic chemistry’s most famous “rules” aren’t as unbreakable as once thought. By ...

Common in nature and found in DNA and amino acids, chiral molecules are asymmetric with a structure that’s different from its mirror image. Chiral amino acids are “left-handed” and cannot be swapped ...

Scientists use AI to generate designs of potential new molecules, a process that is 10 times faster and more precise.

Scientists have broken a century-old chemistry rule by creating “impossible” molecules. The breakthrough could reshape drug design, materials science and how chemistry is taught worldwide.
