However, there are also composite chiral objects in which none of the constituents is chiral by itself. Our hand, for example, is composed of atoms with no particular chirality, but it is ...

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 ...

and adds chirality: a property molecules and ions can have where they are either in a left-hand or a right-hand mirror image ...

The strength of a coupling between nuclear spins depends on chirality, or handedness, of the molecule, according to a new study by researchers at UCLA, Arizona State University, Penn State ...

Simple encapsulation by terpene-based chiral capsules allows various non-chiral organic dyes to display chiroptical properties in water, without requiring elaborate chemical modifications, scientists ...

The diverse chiral space covered by enzymes can also be ... without using protecting groups. On the other hand, the substrate specificity conferred by enzymes also renders them only active for ...

Shoeib Abolhassani/UnsplashCoupling between nuclear spins can vary depending on whether the molecule is left-handed or ...

These seemingly innocuous hand gestures are considered rude in many parts of the world. “Hand gestures can vary significantly in their meaning cross-culturally, with common ones in one country ...

On-chip measurement of circularly polarized light (CPL) is essential for various applications, but filterless integrated CPL ...

Optical forces, which act like an invisible "hand," are capable of precisely controlling tiny particles. Optical tweezers, a ...
