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 ...

Researchers have designed and built a new chemical tool inspired by natural metal-containing enzymes in living organisms. The product, a tetrahedral "chiral zinc", maintains its shape for years, ...

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 ...

The synthesized double-helical monometallofoldamers exhibiting controllable chirality switching can lead to the development of novel artificial supramolecular systems for molecular information ...

Handedness—and the related concept of chirality—are double-sided ways of understanding how matter breaks symmetries. Our right and left hands are reflections of one another, but they are not equal. To ...
