These results help fill in a critical link in the chain from molecules to organs and bodies, the researchers say. "Our findings provide new insights into how molecular chirality gives rise to cellular ...

Two molecules that are mirror images, but that can’t be superimposed after any type of rotation, form a pair of enantiomers, each of which is said to be chiral. Our hands are examples of chiral ...

A way to electrically modify the chirality of organic–inorganic hybrid materials, in which chiral molecules adsorb onto ...

In recent years, molecular materials exhibiting circularly polarized luminescence (CPL)—light with a specific rotational direction (right- or left-handed)—have attracted considerable attention for ...

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

Chirality -- a geometric property that allows molecules to exist in two distinct forms that are chemically identical but are 3D mirror images of each other, like a right and left hand -- has a ...

This module has been designed to introduce second-year organic chemistry students to the concepts of stereochemistry through the lens of the World Health Organization’s Model List of Essential ...

(Nanowerk News) Physicists in Konstanz (Germany) have discovered a way to imprint a previously unseen geometrical form of chirality onto electrons. The electrons are shaped into chiral coils of mass ...

A voltage-driven method enables reversible, tunable chiral states in semiconductor materials. (Nanowerk News) A way to electrically modify the chirality of organic–inorganic hybrid materials, in which ...
