@cuzned it looked fine when getting dressed in the mirror!

Have Twix bars always exhibited #chirality, or is this a recent development?

Two small candy bars in gold wrappers. Both say Twix minis. The upper one is labeled "right" and the lower "left"

"Origin of switchable #quasiparticle-interference #chirality in loop-current phase of #kagome metals measured by scanning-tunneling-microscopy"

"Here, we reveal theoretically that a pronounced chiral quasiparticle interference signal emerges in the extremely dilute impurity regime ( ≲ 0.1%)."

Garden snail genome now available. Amongst other things, a fantastic resource for trying to understand chiral variation in my lab snails.

Can you spot the lefty in the image? https://wellcomeopenresearch.org/articles/10-487/v1 #genomics #snails #gardensnail #chirality

Lots of snails shells, all of which are right coiling , except one.

"The well-known cough suppressant dextro-methorphan is actually the (+) enantiomer of an opioid alkaloid (methorphan), as shown in its name:"

🪞💡By leveraging the concept of chirality, or the difference of a shape from its mirror image, scientists from our school have engineered an optical metasurface that controls light to yield a simple and versatile technique for secure encryption, sensing, and computing.

"Here, we show that chirality of either handedness can be induced in the nonchiral piezoelectric material boron phosphate..by irradiation with terahertz pulses. Resonant excitation of either one of two orthogonal, degenerate vibrational modes determines the sign of the induced chiral order parameter... Our findings offer new prospects for the control of out-of-equilibrium quantum phenomena in complex materials."

"In this work, we explore the impact of chirality on spin angular momentum in hybrid metal/chiral molecule thin-film heterostructures. For this, we inject a pure spin current via spin pumping and investigate the spin-to-charge conversion at the hybrid chiral interface. Notably, we observe a chiral-induced unidirectionality in the conversion."
