Researchers have identified a new physicochemical principle governing liquid–liquid phase separation in polymer solutions.

“Looking at things at a very, very fast rate allows us to observe weird and wonderful phenomena,” Salamat says, calling the ...

In 2024, Neil Garg’s team at UCLA broke Bredt’s rule, which said double bonds couldn’t form at a molecule’s bridgehead. Now ...

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 ...
