Chemists and chemical engineers at California Institute of Technology, working with a pair of colleagues from the University ...

Researchers from ICMAB are revolutionizing how we manipulate light at the nanoscale using chiral plasmonic ...

A new light-activated catalyst breaks and resets carbon–halogen bonds to convert racemic mixtures into enantiomerically ...

Understand the significant growth trajectory of the Intermediates segment, which is expected to reach US$8.2 Billion by 2030 with a CAGR of a 3.4%. The Analytical segment is also set to grow at 4.8% ...

A team of researchers from China and the US has introduced a new method to improve the performance of high-enthalpy elastic materials utilizing a technique called twist buckling. The new design could ...

living polymerization of optically active polyisocyanides using liquid crystals with chiral (mirror-image isomer) structures as a solvent. Circular dichroism measurements of the resulting ...

Chirality is a fundamental property of asymmetry in nature, where an object or molecule cannot be superimposed onto its mirror image ... helical (blue), as indicated by the helices. (Image: ...

If we exclude the panspermia hypothesis, then life on Earth, with key biomolecules utilising only one of two possible mirror-image – or chiral – forms, arose from random “experiments” in ...

chiral molecules are mirror images of one another. Chirality plays an important role in biological processes like DNA formation, but it is a difficult phenomenon to harness and control in electronics.

Many of the undesirable reactions that mirror cells avoid depend on sensing and reacting with chiral molecules. Therefore, cells made up of mirror molecules would simply not interact with most normal ...
