Why is the heart slightly on the left side of the body for most people? Why is DNA almost always a right-handed helix? Same with alpha helices, the building blocks of proteins. Chirality, or ...

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 nature, the concept of chirality or "handedness" is fundamental to life itself, just as our left and right hands are mirror images that cannot be overlapped perfectly. Molecular handedness is ...

The recognition of chirality in bioactive molecules is as old as modern organic chemistry itself. Pioneering work by Jean-Baptiste Biot, Louis Pasteur, Emil Fischer, and J. vant Hoff established ...

Researchers have achieved a significant breakthrough in the synthesis of carbon nanotubes, also known as the 'king of nanomaterials.' Researchers have achieved a significant breakthrough in the ...

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 ...

Recent studies have revealed that electrons passing through chiral molecules exhibit significant spin polarization—a phenomenon known as chirality-induced spin selectivity. This effect stems from a ...

A new study marks a significant step forward in positioning synthetic polymers as an alternative to expensive, unsustainable minerals used in the manufacture of devices such as conductors, transistors ...

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 ...
