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 is an essential property in biology; the molecular building blocks of some of the most important biological structures, including DNA and proteins, are chiral. When a molecule is said to be ...
