The chirality of enantiomers can be the sole distinguishing factor between beneficial and harmful medications, and between active and non-active enantiomers that may comprise up to half of a product.

Light Publishing Center, Changchun Institute of Optics, Fine Mechanics And Physics, CAS Researchers have developed a new method for precisely analyzing molecules' chirality. This method, known as ...

Chirality sensing and enantiomeric excess determination have emerged as pivotal techniques within chemical and pharmaceutical research, providing crucial insights into the optical purity of chiral ...

(Nanowerk News) If we compare the right to the left hand, we can see these are specular images —that is, like symmetrical shapes reflected in a mirror— and they cannot superimpose on each other. This ...
