This finding implies that the cell nucleus can rotate even when there is no chiral orientation of the cytoskeleton on a cellular level. To confirm whether this mechanism was driving the rotation, the ...

The control of artificial double-helical structures, which are essential for the development of high-order molecular systems, remains difficult. In a new study, researchers have developed novel double ...

In the past several decades, significant progress has been made in controlling molecular chirality, as evidenced by the several Nobel Prizes in chemistry awarded in this area, particularly for ...

Researchers at the University of St Andrews have uncovered a long‑elusive molecular "reshuffle," a breakthrough that tackles one of chemistry's most persistent challenges and could transform the way ...

Common in nature and found in DNA and amino acids, chiral molecules are asymmetric with a structure that’s different from its mirror image. Chiral amino acids are “left-handed” and cannot be swapped ...

Nanoscience can arrange minute molecular entities into nanometric patterns in an orderly manner using self-assembly protocols. Scientists have functionalized a simple rod-like building block with ...

Researchers have developed what amounts to a programmable platform for quantum chirality that could provide new approaches to explore interacting electrons in chiral systems. (Nanowerk News) A new ...

A project led by Spain's ICFO photonics research center has developed an ultrafast technique for the imaging of molecular chirality with extremely high temporal resolution. The dynamics of chiral ...

Water-assembled capsules act as sophisticated nanotools, inducing and tuning chirality in metal dyes without chemical changes, with precise thermal control and adaptability. (Nanowerk News) In nature, ...

Scientists at the University of St Andrews have discovered a molecular “reshuffle”, a breakthrough that addresses a major challenge in chemistry and could transform medical production. Published in ...

Investigating the origins of cellular chirality The team led by Tatsuo Shibata of the RIKEN Center for Biosystems Dynamics Research first became interested in this question while studying genital ...
