By using optically active liquid crystals as reaction sites, researchers at University of Tsukuba have successfully achieved ...

Alkenes with functional groups on opposite sides of the double bond can also be thought of as trans, stemming from the Latin ...

There are 20 amino acids that create the proteins required for life on our planet — and scientists have now found exactly 14 ...

In other words, Bennu's samples provide further evidence that life's building blocks formed early in the solar system and ...

The minerals McCoy’s team identified paint a picture of one possible environment present on rocky celestial bodies 4.5 billion years ago. The presence of evaporites means that sodium-rich water once ...

Computational chemistry describes the use of computer ... in strings that embed chemical information and molecular chirality, showing promise in generating molecules with desirable properties.

The role of electrons and their negative charge in electric current is well established. Electrons also exhibit other ...

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 ...

A new technique involving terahertz light has enabled the creation of chiral states in non-chiral materials, offering ...

Researchers have discovered an innovative way to manipulate electronic properties in a magnetic Weyl semimetal using hydrogen ...

Chirality is a fundamental property of many pharmaceutical compounds, where molecules exist in two forms that are mirror images of each other, known as enantiomers. The different enantiomers can ...
