When NASA launched a spacecraft to an asteroid, scientists patiently waited for their chance to look at bits of the space ...

Chiral amino acids. L-and D-amino acids are same in molecular weight, bond angle, bond length, but different in characteristics. Only L-amino acids has been regarded to be present in the body ...

It now seems that manmade chiral metamaterials may provide an answer. Two separate research collaborations in the United States and Europe have now independently provided experimental proof that ...

Scientists have detected organic compounds and minerals necessary for life in the samples collected by the OSIRIS-REx mission ...

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

Scientists have finally had a close look at the rubble collected by a spacecraft from the asteroid Bennu. Here's what they ...

This asymmetric esterification has proven highly effective when using catalysis by low molecular weight chiral catalysts derived from natural amino acids, specifically through the use of N ...

REx brought back to Earth 121 grams of material from asteroid Bennu. This is the largest sample ever collected and brought ...
