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 ...

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 ...

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 ...

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) ...

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 ...

Leo Wan’s cultured mouse cells didn’t look right. Or rather, they looked left, Wan noticed, as he peered at them through a microscope around 2009. Huddled in a single layer along a narrow glass slide, ...
