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 ...

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.

Speeding up drug discovery in the age of AI may come down to a concept that's comfortingly old-fashioned: Consulting a ...

UCLA scientists have defied a 100-year-old chemistry rule, creating molecules once deemed impossible, potentially revolutionizing drug design and materials science.

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 ...

Chemistry deals with that most fundamental subject: matter. New drugs, materials and batteries all depend on our ability to make new molecules. But discovery of new substances is slow, expensive and ...

Using robots and click chemistry, scientists built potential active ingredients for future antibiotics that contain metal.

From finding new antibiotic candidates to studying the insides of cells, snapping molecules together "like Lego" has ...

This year’s Nobel Prize in chemistry has been awarded in equal parts to Carolyn R. Bertozzi, Morten Meldal and K. Barry Sharpless for developing way of “snapping molecules together” that can be used ...

Complex sugar-protein molecules that sense external messages to help a cell grow or respond to its environment can now be ...

Click chemistry is a field in which molecular building blocks snap together. Three scientists won the Nobel Prize in Chemistry Wednesday for their work in making molecules "click." Two Americans, K.
