Many people have switched to “ammonia-free” hair colours believing they are automatically safer. While avoiding ammonia is a step forward, true long-term hair health depends on understanding what goes ...

Double bonds, or alkenes, are not supposed to form in some locations on organic molecules, which is known as Bredt’s rule. Researchers who successfully broke that rule last year have now synthesized ...

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 ...
