Researchers at the University of St Andrews have uncovered a long‑elusive molecular "reshuffle," a breakthrough that tackles ...

RIKEN researchers have discovered how right-handed molecules in our cells can give rise to cells that are not symmetrical ...

New research describes how the modulation of the geometry of a helical reactor at a macroscopic level enables controlling the sign of chirality of a process at a nanometric scale, an unprecedented ...

Light that twists as it travels and materials whose internal order is knotted like a pretzel are starting to collide in the ...

A way to electrically modify the chirality of organic–inorganic hybrid materials, in which chiral molecules adsorb onto inorganic surfaces, has been demonstrated by researchers at Science Tokyo. By ...

Chirality and natural products are two pivotal concepts within the domains of chemistry and biology. Chirality is a molecular property that renders it non-superimposable on its mirror image, while ...

Chiral molecules - compounds that are mirror images of each other - play an important role in biological processes and in chemical synthesis. Chemists have now succeeded for the first time in using ...

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 ...

In our high school chemistry classes we all learn about chirality, the property of organic molecules in which two chemically identical molecules can have different structures that are mirror images of ...

A new, real-time technique to measure the changes in chirality of biomolecules in the deep ultraviolet part of the electromagnetic spectrum could be important for improved drug development and ...
