Both results make use of chirality — a structural design that does not show mirror symmetry. Some naturally occurring materials, such as milk or sugar solutions, have extremely weak chirality.
Thus, the biological implications of chirality demand that we improve our ability to access chiral small molecules as pure entities. Though the field of asymmetric synthesis has its roots in ...
"The inability to control CNT chirality has been a major barrier to their industrial application, so this project was undertaken to find a catalyst that could consistently produce the desired ...
Tragically, one of the mirror-image molecules caused birth defects in thousands of infants. And although methods to effectively detect and monitor chirality are vital, they are also technically ...

(Nanowerk News) Researchers have achieved a significant breakthrough in the synthesis of carbon nanotubes (CNTs) by developing a novel catalyst that allows for precise control over their atomic ...
