These results help fill in a critical link in the chain from molecules to organs and bodies, the researchers say. "Our findings provide new insights into how molecular chirality gives rise to cellular ...

Recent studies have revealed that electrons passing through chiral molecules exhibit significant spin polarization—a phenomenon known as chirality-induced spin selectivity. This effect stems from a ...

A team of chemists has made significant strides in the field of mechanically interlocked molecules (MIMs). Their work showcases the development of a compact catenane with tuneable mechanical chirality ...

A way to electrically modify the chirality of organic–inorganic hybrid materials, in which chiral molecules adsorb onto inorganic surfaces, has been demonstrated by researchers at Science Tokyo. By ...

The study demonstrates that applying a gate voltage drives chiral cations from an ionic liquid to the surface of achiral MoS 2, creating a controllable chiral electronic state without permanently ...
