Scientists at the Institute of Science Tokyo (Science Tokyo) have successfully realized the highly selective asymmetric 1,6 ...

Attaching amino acids to a hydrophobic organic molecule allows them to self-assemble into rare, knotted structures with ...

The separation of enantiomers – mirror-image forms of chiral compounds – is a pivotal process in chemical research due to its wide-reaching applications in pharmaceuticals, agrochemicals and materials ...

Researchers have proposed a highly efficient method for detecting molecular chirality using tailored laser fields. Chiral molecules are those that have two versions that are mirror images, like our ...

You wouldn’t think molecules could be left- or right-handed – they’re too tiny to have limbs, after all. However, they absolutely can be, and it’s all to do with a property called chirality. The rest ...

A piece of research carried out by the EHU’s Spectroscopy Group and the Biofisika Institute (CSIC/EHU) and published in the ...

For the first time, scientists at ETH Zurich have utilized extremely brief, rotating bursts of light to analyze and modify electron movements in mirror-image molecules. They demonstrated that the ...

Chirality, or "handedness," is a fundamental property of objects, from galaxies to molecules, and plays a crucial role in biological systems. However, chiral compounds in living organisms such as ...
