Chiral separation and membrane technology have emerged as key methodologies in the efficient isolation of enantiomers from racemic mixtures, which is of paramount importance in pharmaceuticals, ...

Chirality—often described as "handedness"—is a fundamental property of nature, underlying the behavior of molecules ranging ...

A C&EN article describes efforts to create artificial saliva to treat xerostomia, which radiation treatment for head and neck cancers can cause (Dec. 11/18, 2023, page 17). Cancer.net estimates nearly ...

Enantiomers, or molecule pairs that are mirror images of each other, make up more than half of FDA-approved drugs in use today, including those used in treatments for cancer, neurologic diseases and ...

C-H activation-based method should speed drug molecule design and diversification. Scripps Research chemists have accomplished a long elusive feat in synthetic chemistry: the invention of a broadly ...

A collaboration between Stuart Parkin's group at the Max Planck Institute of Microstructure Physics in Halle (Saale) and Claudia Felser's group at the Max Planck Institute for Chemical Physics of ...

Chirality is a fundamental property of asymmetry in nature, where an object or molecule cannot be superimposed onto its mirror image. In the context of nanotechnology, chirality refers to the ...
