While these “mirror cells” could have profound medical implications, a new 299-page report warns that a mirror pathogen could spell the end of life on Earth, as such a microbe would avoid our immune ...

Chiral ligands, such as small organic molecules or peptides, can be used to direct the synthesis of chiral nanostructures. These ligands bind to the surface of nanoparticles or nanocrystals, inducing ...

Hydrogen is increasingly seen as an important element in the transition to a low-carbon future. Now, researchers have discovered a new approach to improve the efficiency of water splitting, a ...

Asymmetric catalysis is a type of catalysis in which a chiral catalyst directs the formation of a chiral compound such that formation of one particular stereoisomer is favoured. Since the catalyst ...
