Thus, the biological implications of chirality demand that we improve our ability to access chiral small molecules as pure entities. Though the field of asymmetric synthesis has its roots in ...

It's a conch shell that was found in a hunter-gatherer cave in southern France. The artefact is the oldest known wind instrument of its type. To date, only bone flutes can claim a deeper heritage.

Chirality is an essential property in biology; the molecular building blocks of some of the most important biological structures, including DNA and proteins, are chiral. When a molecule is said to ...

The strength of a coupling between nuclear spins depends on chirality, or handedness, of the molecule, according to a new study by researchers at UCLA, Arizona State University, Penn State, MIT ...

Similarly, some molecules can be left or right-handed. Although these are mirror images – the chemistry term is enantiomers, or chiral molecules – they can interact completely differently with other ...

In Florida, you cannot purchase a shell with a living conch inside or with an off-center hole larger than a 16th of an inch in diameter through its spire. Earlier this year, NOAA Fisheries listed ...

From a staple food to its use as a musical instrument, few things epitomise the culture of the Turks and Caicos Islands (TCI) like the queen conch. And, for tourists, pulling up to a beachside ...

PANAMA CITY, Fla. (WMBB) – The good vibes and drinks were flowing at the Little Village Conch Shell Festival in historic St.

Starting with March, 1st 2025 the Chiral Optoelectronics Lab at the Max Planck Institute for Microstructure Physics in Halle, Germany, is seeking a motivated Postdoctoral Researcher to join the ...

(Nanowerk News) With advancements in nanotechnology, scientists have been able to create more artificial chiral nanomaterials. One of the key features of these materials is circular dichroism (CD), ...
