UCLA chemists have found a big problem with a fundamental rule of organic chemistry that has been around for 100 years—it's ...

Scientists have proven that a fundamental rule of organic chemistry isn't as unbreakable as everyone thought. Here's what it ...

According to Bredt's rule, double bonds cannot exist at certain positions on organic molecules if the molecule's geometry deviates too far from what we learn in textbooks. This rule has constrained ...

Scientists have just broken a 100-year-old chemistry rule and synthesized a type of 3D, unstable molecule called an ...

It is almost four years since the Perseverance Rover landed on Mars and it has found a rock that could hold life signs.

Deciding to question the rule's absolute nature ... Garg's team's discovery serves as a stepping stone to numerous ...

Neil Garg is leading the charge to rewrite a fundamental principle that's been part of organic chemistry since 1924 -- ...

The earliest cells likely didn’t have membranes to separate and protect their components and chemistry away from a harsh surrounding environment. But they may have made do with rain.
