Researchers at Kumamoto University have now demonstrated a simple and effective way to control the handedness of an inorganic ...

In many areas of chemistry the synthesis of chiral compounds is a target of increasing importance. They play a vital role in biological function and in many areas of society and science, including ...

Atropisomers are a class of stereoisomers (chemical compounds that differ in spatial arrangement of atoms) arising from restricted rotation around a single bond and have various applications in ...

Chirality (a geometric property of any object that is not superimposable on its mirror image) is inherent in nature, as manifested by the existence of homochiral proteins, nucleic acids and ...

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 ...
