Both results make use of chirality — a structural design that does not show mirror symmetry. Some naturally occurring materials, such as milk or sugar solutions, have extremely weak chirality.

Thus, the biological implications of chirality demand that we improve our ability to access chiral small molecules as pure entities. Though the field of asymmetric synthesis has its roots in ...

The researchers successfully demonstrated CECEM spectroscopy on various chiral materials, including quartz crystals, sugar solutions, and protein solutions. The technique achieved excellent ...
