Common in nature and found in DNA and amino acids, chiral molecules are asymmetric with a structure that’s different from its mirror image. Chiral amino acids are “left-handed” and cannot be swapped ...

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

Organic chemistry is packed with rules about structure and reactivity, especially when it comes to making and breaking ...

Scientists use AI to generate designs of potential new molecules, a process that is 10 times faster and more precise.

Lasers are used to carry out functions ranging from reading a bar code label at the grocery store to shooting down enemy missiles in space. Now, chemists at Purdue University are using lasers to coax ...

A US-based research team has developed a laser technique that enables individual molecules to change their shape, a step that may enable molecules to perform specific functions such as switching. The ...

Google LLC’s quantum division today released research showing that its Willow quantum chip can provide elegant and accurate simulations about the physical properties of molecules much faster than ...
