We are often confronted with a facial expression that makes us feel uncomfortable or we sense there is something wrong. Most of us don’t go further than saying, “That just doesn’t seem right,” or, ...

Chirality—often described as "handedness"—is a fundamental property of nature, underlying the behavior of molecules ranging ...

Sometimes the difference between life-saving drug and deadly side effect is chirality. L-DOPA is the best drug we have for Parkinson’s disease. If you take L-DOPA and reflect it in a mirror, you get a ...

In the past several decades, significant progress has been made in controlling molecular chirality, as evidenced by the several Nobel Prizes in chemistry awarded in this area, particularly for ...

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 framework for understanding the non-monotonic temperature dependence and sign reversal of the chirality-related ...

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 ...

In a new study, an international group of researchers has found that chiral phonons can create orbital current without ...

The phenomenon where electron spins align in a specific direction after passing through chiral materials is a cornerstone for ...
