Chirality: like a right hand and a left hand, two molecules can have the same composition, but a different shape and ...

A resonance effect can significantly affect how a three-atom molecule cools down when excited, RIKEN physicists have found. The study, published in Physical Review A, highlights the complexity of the ...

By leveraging the concept of chirality, or the difference of a shape from its mirror image, EPFL scientists have engineered ...

Chemists at the University of Geneva and University of Pisa have crafted a novel family of chiral molecules whose mirror-image “handedness” remains rock-solid for tens of thousands of years. By ...

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 ...

He worked to develop an atomic clock that is essential to global positioning systems and helped confirm a rare state of ...

Researchers have developed a new family of remarkably stable chiral molecules. This work opens up new prospects for the ...
