Researchers synthesized weird molecules that exist in three dimensions, breaking Bredt's rule and helping to develop future ...

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

The origin of life from Earth's primordial chemistry has long fascinated and perplexed us. Generations of scientists have endeavored to understand how complex biochemistry developed from organic ...

By exploring the properties, structures, and reactions of organic molecules, organic chemists can develop new materials, including drugs, fuels and plastics, and probe the underlying chemistry of life ...

It uses a system called simplified molecular-input line-entry system (SMILES). This translates chemical 3D structures into ...

Chemistry students are taught that some molecular shapes are so strained they simply cannot exist. For about 100 years, one of those supposed impossibilities has been locked into textbooks as a hard ...

Seeing chemistry unfold inside living cells is one of the biggest challenges of modern bioimaging. Raman microscopy offers a ...

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 may have found an unexpected way to break down “forever chemicals”—by borrowing chemistry from failing lithium-ion ...

Medicinal chemistry, also known as pharmaceutical chemistry, is a branch of chemistry focused on the development of new drugs and the improvement of existing ones. It is an interdisciplinary field ...

Fledgling universities funded by kings and other leaders hired professors for their chemistry departments. Organic chemistry became a recognized discipline. These developments established an entirely ...
