By using optically active liquid crystals as reaction sites, researchers at University of Tsukuba have successfully achieved ...

Chirality is the property of an object that makes it different from its mirror image, like our left and right hands. In ...

There are 20 amino acids that create the proteins required for life on our planet — and scientists have now found exactly 14 ...

In other words, Bennu's samples provide further evidence that life's building blocks formed early in the solar system and ...

Chirality is a fundamental property of many pharmaceutical compounds, where molecules exist in two forms that are mirror images of each other, known as enantiomers. The different enantiomers can ...

The minerals McCoy’s team identified paint a picture of one possible environment present on rocky celestial bodies 4.5 billion years ago. The presence of evaporites means that sodium-rich water once ...

Jan. 27, 2025 — An international team of scientists has discovered a way to store and release volatile hydrogen using lignin-based jet fuel that could open new pathways for sustainable energy ...

Chirality refers to objects that cannot be superimposed to their mirror images through any combination of rotations or translations, much like the distinct left and right hands of a human. In chiral ...

Chemistry Education Research and Practice (CERP) is the journal for teachers, researchers and other practitioners at all levels of chemistry education. It is published free of charge electronically ...

Computational chemistry describes the use of computer modelling and simulation – including ab initio approaches based on quantum chemistry, and empirical approaches – to study the structures ...
