For many decades, the method to obtain atomic-level descriptions of chemical compounds and materials—be it a drug, a catalyst ...

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

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

On Wednesday, the Nobel Committee announced that it had awarded the Nobel Prize in chemistry to researchers who pioneered major breakthroughs in computational chemistry. These include two researchers ...

UCLA researchers have violated Bredt’s rule, a century-old principle of organic chemistry, challenging our understanding of ...

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.

Since the discovery of the double-helical structure of DNA and postulation of the central dogma of molecular biology, stating that the flow of genetic information goes from DNA to RNA to protein, the ...

Over the millennia, viruses have become excellent manipulators of biology. But there’s a lot that scientists don’t know about how viruses work, in part because they have relatively little insight into ...
