A team of scientists has identified a new physical mechanism that could help explain one of the most persistent mysteries in ...

Electron spin can create differences between mirror-image molecules, a potential explanation for why life favors one ...

At the smallest scales of matter, nature behaves in ways that feel almost counterintuitive. Individual particles follow simple rules, but when they interact together, entirely new behaviors can emerge ...

Researchers uncover a mechanism that may explain why biology consistently selects one molecular form over its mirror image. A new study suggests that ...

Quantum computers, devices that process information leveraging quantum mechanical effects, could tackle some tasks that are ...

Researchers at the Institute for Molecular Science (IMS) have definitively resolved a two-decade-long controversy regarding the direction of electron spin on the surface of gold. Using a ...
