Chemists at UCLA are showing that some of organic chemistry’s most famous “rules” aren’t as unbreakable as once thought. By creating bizarre, cage-shaped molecules with warped double bonds—structures ...

Computational Chemistry is the study of complex chemical problems using a combination of computer simulations, chemistry theory and information science. Also called cheminformatics, this field enables ...

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.

Borosulfates represent a rapidly evolving class of silicate analogues in which borate and sulphate tetrahedra condense into diverse frameworks. Their structures range from one-dimensional chains to ...

“Reactive Noble-Gas Compounds Explored by 3D Electron Diffraction: XeF 2 −MnF 4 Adducts and a Facile Sample Handling Procedure” Since Bartlett’s discovery, which is commemorated with an International ...

A cornerstone rule of organic chemistry that has guided students and researchers for a century has just been shown to be wrong in a key way. By deliberately building molecules that were long ...

Chemical bonds are forces that hold atoms together in molecules through shared electrons. The rules governing bonding and the shapes of molecules are often thought to be absolute. Geometries of double ...

How does our nose work? Have you wondered how we can detect so many different types of odors? There is chemistry behind food smells. In this activity, we will explore how small changes in chemical ...

Efforts to unlock the mysteries of proteins, building blocks of life, have earned three scientists the 2024 Nobel Prize in chemistry. The prize goes to David Baker “for computational protein design,” ...

AI could transform materials R&D. But how it does this, and how well it is adopted, is yet to be seen. Here, we take a look ...

Researchers have trained an AI process to predict potential active ingredients with special properties. Therefore, they derived a chemical language model -- a kind of ChatGPT for molecules. Following ...
