1.4 Lecture (20 minutes in class). Slides over the importance of chirality with historical examples and applications. 1.5 Unit 1 homework (20 minutes outside class). Problems on identifying chiral and ...

A research team has discovered that achiral hard banana-shaped particles can spontaneously form exotic structures like skyrmions and blue phase III phases. Skyrmions are tiny vortex-like structures ...

Recent studies have focused on various methods for separating these chiral compounds, including achiral chromatography, capillary electrophoresis, and nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) spectroscopy.

Scientists have developed a novel technique to transform symmetrical semiconductor particles into intricately twisted, spiral ...

Achiral (non-chiral) molecules acting as a control didn’t show similar results, proving the impact of chirality. “Our ...

Starting from a compound that had broad-spectrum antimicrobial ... as well as indications that their target was chiral — unlike the achiral lipid chains of the cell membrane targeted by PG ...
