Circularly polarized light has properties that make it useful in a growing range of technologies, from next-generation 3D displays to bioimaging tools that can detect signals deep within living ...

IN their interesting letter in NATURE of April 19, Prof. T. M. Lowry and Dr. E. E. Walker made no reference to the work of Erlenmeyer upon induced optical activity in cinnamic acid (various papers in ...

Two Baylor University chemistry professors have invented a new polarimeter, a basic scientific instrument used to measure and interpret the polarization of transverse waves, such as light waves, that ...

THE following seems to me a perfectly possible, although purely hypothetical, way in which any amount of an optically active compound could be formed by chance chemical processes.
