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, ...

A new framework for understanding the nonmonotonic temperature dependence and sign reversal of the chirality-related ...

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 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 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 ...

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

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