Scientific textbooks are going to need a rewrite after U.S. researchers broke a fundamental rule of chemistry, tearing up "one hundred years of conventional wisdom." The team from the University of ...

Carbon is a gregarious little atom, bending over backwards to link with a wide variety of elements in what is collectively referred to as organic chemistry. Life itself wouldn't be possible without ...

A once well-established chemistry law now has an asterisk attached after a challenge from UCLA researchers. Neil Garg, a distinguished professor in the chemistry and biochemistry department, said ...

Organic chemistry is packed with rules about structure and reactivity, especially when it comes to making and breaking chemical bonds. The rules governing how these bonds, which hold atoms together in ...
