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 ...

Cubene and quadricyclene are descended from cubane and quadricylane, both cage-shaped structures with bonds that are fairly ...

Astronomers have been given a new and incredibly detailed look at a very familiar astronomical object thanks to the James Webb Space Telescope (JWST). The new JWST image shows the Helix Nebula, the ...

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 ...

Every medication in your cabinet, every material in your phone's battery, and virtually every compound that makes modern life work started as a molecular guess, with scientists hypothesizing that a ...
