Scientists just overturned a 100-year-old rule of chemistry, and the results are “impossible”

Organic chemistry relies on long established rules that describe how atoms connect, how chemical bonds form, and how molecules take shape. These principles guide how scientists understand reactions and predict molecular behavior. While many of these rules are treated as fixed truths, researchers at UCLA are showing that chemistry has more flexibility than once believed.
