Attaching amino acids to a hydrophobic organic molecule allows them to self-assemble into rare, knotted structures with ...

SPaDe-CSP first predicts most probable space groups and crystal densities using machine learning and then employs an efficient neural network potential for structure refinement. Prediction of crystal ...

The concept of aromaticity underpins much of modern organic chemistry, describing the unusual stability and reactivity of cyclic molecules whose π-electrons are delocalised over a planar framework.

UCLA researchers have violated Bredt’s rule, a century-old principle of organic chemistry, challenging our understanding of molecular shapes.

UCLA chemists proved that some of chemistry’s oldest rules can be broken—and new molecules emerge when they are.

A new analysis of archival data from the Cassini spacecraft has confirmed that the icy jets shooting from Saturn’s moon Enceladus contain organic molecules — the key building blocks of life. This ...

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

Stephen has degrees in science (Physics major) and arts (English Literature and the History and Philosophy of Science), as well as a Graduate Diploma in Science Communication. Stephen has degrees in ...

A team of scientists just discovered the longest organic molecules yet seen on Mars, the fourth planet from the Sun and and a tantalizing venue for humankind’s search for life beyond Earth. Mars today ...

Paleontologists have long assumed that fossilization destroys all organic molecules in ancient remains. However, a groundbreaking study by researchers at the University of Liverpool has found traces ...
