Bredt's rule was first reported in textbooks in 1924: double bonds cannot exist at certain positions on organic molecules if the molecule's geometry deviates too far from what we learn in textbooks. UCLA chemists say it’s not true. Their…

I've never understood cryptocurrency, and I'm still a bit baffled that it was really a thing. As far as I understand it (on a very simple level), cryptocurrency mining occurs when the blockchain asks a computer to perform complicated math…

International researchers have developed a handheld, non-invasive device that detects Alzheimer's and Parkinson's disease biomarkers. The biosensor delivers results wirelessly to a laptop or smartphone. The team presented their findings in…

Because electrons and ions behave on vastly different timescales, it’s been prohibitive to simulate both on the same footing. Ultrafast quantum simulation, however, overcomes this limitation and allows for the study of the dynamics of the…
