So desirable are chiral molecules as pharmaceutically active compounds that scientists employ whatever methods they can and continually explore new ways to create their unique handedness.
The concept of chirality is a central one in chemistry. Chiral chemicals, in which two structures are mirror images that cannot be superimposed, include amino acids and DNA.
Yeah, I know that today is Nobel Prize in chemistry and so on, but still, I am back with the traditional guessing game. Try to guess - which #minerals are inside of these food-supplement-shaped objects?

What does an imaginary fluid that isn’t made up of atoms have to teach chemists? Perhaps not much—but the community studying that fluid offers a warning about the risks and opportunities of adopting AI for research.
