Chiral drugs contain non-superimposable mirror-image forms (enantiomers) that can exhibit drastically different pharmacological effects. Over 60% of current drugs are chiral, highlighting their ...

Chirality is a fundamental property of asymmetry in nature, where an object or molecule cannot be superimposed onto its mirror image. In the context of nanotechnology, chirality refers to the ...

Chirality refers to the property of an object that cannot be superimposed on its mirror image. Chiral molecules and their mirror images are called enantiomers, which are denoted as “D” (dextrorotatory ...

Chirality is a fundamental property of matter that determines many biological, chemical and physical phenomena. Chiral solids, for example, offer exciting opportunities for catalysis, sensing and ...

The recognition of chirality in bioactive molecules is as old as modern organic chemistry itself. Pioneering work by Jean-Baptiste Biot, Louis Pasteur, Emil Fischer, and J. vant Hoff established ...

Have you ever placed the palm of your left hand on the back of your right hand, in such a way that all fingers point in the same direction? If you have, then you probably know that your left thumb ...

RIKEN physicists have discovered for the first time why the magnitude of the electron flow depends on direction in a special ...
