Researchers verified the chiral-induced spin selectivity effect, i.e., the influence of chiral molecules on spin, using spintronic analytical techniques. Researchers at Mainz University verified the ...

The study of chiral molecules – entities that exist in non-superimposable mirror images – has profound implications across a range of scientific disciplines, from synthetic chemistry to ...

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

While mirror bacteria may sound like a fun time, a group of 40 renowned scientists conclude it is probably not worth the risk.

Chiral molecules are common in medicines because chirality is common in nature, from spiraling vines and shells to amino acids and various proteins, to the human body's protein receptors, the site of ...

Scientists have made a significant leap forward in the field of chiral molecules. The team achieved near-complete separation in quantum states for these essential components of life. This discovery ...

Protons play a central role in energy production within cells. A team of researchers has discovered that their movement is influenced by electron spin, a quantum property. This interaction occurs in ...

Can you imagine a life-saving molecule whose “twin” is a deadly poison? As surprising as it may seem, this chemical reality is known as “chirality”. Like a right hand and a left hand, two molecules ...

(Nanowerk News) The role of electrons and their negative charge in electric current is well established. Electrons also exhibit other intrinsic properties that are associated, for example, with ...
