Researchers at the University of St Andrews have revealed that they have found a key to unlocking an 80-year-old chemical ...

Researchers at the University of St Andrews have uncovered a long‑elusive molecular "reshuffle," a breakthrough that tackles ...

A way to electrically modify the chirality of organic–inorganic hybrid materials, in which chiral molecules adsorb onto ...

Scientists at the University of St Andrews have discovered a molecular “reshuffle”, a breakthrough that addresses a major ...

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 ...

Chirality is a fundamental property of asymmetry in nature, where an object or molecule cannot be superimposed onto its mirror image. In the context of nanotechnology, chirality refers to the ...

New research describes how the modulation of the geometry of a helical reactor at a macroscopic level enables controlling the sign of chirality of a process at a nanometric scale, an unprecedented ...

The thumb and first two fingers on Tsvelik's hands show the relative orientations of three nearby electrons whose magnetic moments point at right angles to one another--like the x, y, z axes on a 3-D ...
