Catenanes are organic compounds with ring-like molecules that ... Studies have shown that chiral MIMs can be constructed using achiral components by leveraging mechanical bonds the right way.

A research team has discovered that achiral hard banana-shaped particles can spontaneously form exotic structures like ...

Aug 09, 2019: Making chiral structures from achiral building blocks (Nanowerk News) Chemists at RIKEN have observed how ‘achiral’ molecules (that is, molecules that are identical to their own mirror ...

A combined team of researchers from the Weizmann Institute and the Israel Institute of Technology, both in Israel, has developed a way to create a chiral polymer from achiral monomers using a ...

You wouldn’t think molecules could be left- or right-handed – they’re too tiny to have limbs, after all. However, they absolutely can be, and it’s all to do with a property called ...

"Achiral objects can be easily superimposed on top of one another." Why many of the important functional molecules in our bodies almost always occur in just one chiral form when they could ...

Oftentimes, only one form of a chiral molecule exists in nature, for example, DNA ... He said transferring chirality to achiral molecules is done by doping, that is incorporating guest species ...

A research team has discovered that achiral hard banana-shaped particles can spontaneously form exotic structures like skyrmions and blue phase III phases. Skyrmions are tiny vortex-like ...
