The UCF-developed plasmonic technology, shown here, significantly improves the detection of the chirality of molecules, meeting a crucial demand in the field of medical and pharmaceutical research.

A Hong Kong University of Science and Technology (HKUST) research team has developed a catalytic enantioselective type II [5 + 2] cycloaddition method to address the challenges of synthesizing chiral ...

Early in the drug discovery process, it is necessary to begin studies on enantiomerically pure compounds due to the potential for unique efficacy and adverse effects associated with one enantiomer ...

(Nanowerk Spotlight) Noble metal nanoparticles like gold and silver have been extensively studied for their optical, electronic, and catalytic properties, which can be finely tuned by controlling ...

A way to electrically modify the chirality of organic–inorganic hybrid materials, in which chiral molecules adsorb onto inorganic surfaces, has been demonstrated by researchers at Science Tokyo. By ...

This short seminar is intended as an introduction for those scientists who are involved in chiral chromatography and want to use the technique to assist in their analysis. Specifically aimed at ...

(Nanowerk Spotlight) Chirality is a property of objects that exist in different forms that are mirror images of each other but cannot be superimposed, like left hand and right hand. It is a common ...

LA JOLLA, CA—Scripps Research chemists have accomplished a long elusive feat in synthetic chemistry: the invention of a broadly useful method for constructing “gamma chiral centers” on simple starting ...
