That none of these endured suggests that something in that chirality made them less fit to spread, either due to biochemistry or because the chirality of observed life outperformed them.

The phenomenon is called chirality, and the molecules that have this property are called chiral molecules. For the latter ones, this means that the left-handed and the right-handed molecules, also ...

A new study led by researchers at the Earth-Life Science Institute (ELSI) at the Institute of Science, Tokyo, has uncovered a ...

Chiral-structural-color materials produce color through microscopic structures that interact with light rather than through pigmentation or dyes. Some beetle exoskeletons, avian feathers ...

CD in in Biochemistry, Biophysics and Structural Biology Circular Dichroism (CD) spectroscopy is a technique used to measure the differential absorption of left- and right-handed circularly polarized ...
