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

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

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 ...
