A New Spin on Chirality - Peaceful Science
(A shorter topic title was needed, and I couldn’t resist the pun. 😉 ) Dynamic breaking of mirror symmetry in spin-dependent electron transport through chiral media causes enantiomeric excesses https://www.science.org/doi/10.1126/sciadv.aec9325 Abstract Two fundamental questions have puzzled scientists for more than 150 years. “How did life become homochiral?” and “why was this specific handedness selected?” Recently, it has been shown that homochirality could have emerged through the en...
