Have you ever placed the palm of your left hand on the back of your right hand in such a way that all fingers point in the same direction? If you have, then you probably know that your left thumb will ...

The thumb and first two fingers on Tsvelik's hands show the relative orientations of three nearby electrons whose magnetic moments point at right angles to one another--like the x, y, z axes on a 3-D ...

Enantioselection with neither chiral catalysis nor chiral ingredients (absolute enantioselection) has been one of the most active topics in biology, but its experimental realizations have been ...

Chirality is a fundamental property of asymmetry in nature, where an object or molecule cannot be superimposed onto its mirror image. In the context of nanotechnology, chirality refers to the ...

Chirality refers to the structural property of an object that cannot be superimposed on its mirror image. It is a widespread phenomenon in nature, found in essential building blocks of life such as ...

A new method of distinguishing chiral molecules could eventually detect distortions inside quantum and soft materials, find abnormal protein aggregates linked to disease, and more. (Nanowerk News) ...

Chirality is a fundamental property of matter that determines many biological, chemical and physical phenomena. Chiral solids, for example, offer exciting opportunities for catalysis, sensing and ...

Chemists have synthesized the first stable molecule whose chirality is solely attributed to a stereogenic oxygen, according to a new study (Nature 2023, DOI: 10.1038/s41586-023-05719-z). Though carbon ...
