The single chirality of biological molecules in terrestrial biology raises more questions than
certitudes about its origin. The emergence of biological homochirality (BH) and its …

Spontaneous deracemizations is a challenging, multidisciplinary subject in current chirality
research. In the absence of any chiral inductors, an achiral substance or a racemic …

Circularly polarized light (CPL) as a massless physical force causes absolute asymmetric
photosynthesis, photodestruction, and photoresolution. CPL handedness has long been …

The field of prebiotic chemistry has been dedicated over decades to finding abiotic routes
towards the molecular components of life. There is nowadays a handful of prebiotically …

A significant number of synthetic systems capable of replicating themselves or entities that
are complementary to themselves have appeared in the last 30 years. Building on an …

Achieving homochirality is challenging both at the molecular and the supramolecular levels.
While the origin of molecular homochirality still remains mysterious, the fabrication of …

Chemical reactions that lead to a spontaneous symmetry breaking or amplification of the
enantiomeric excess are of fundamental interest in explaining the formation of a homochiral …

Recent reports on both theoretical simulations and on the physical chemistry basis of
spontaneous mirror symmetry breaking (SMSB), that is, asymmetric synthesis in the absence …

Among the enticing issues of chiral origins are: how chirality is born from the initial achiral
units and the mechanisms for the transfer of chiral information. In this work, by combining a …

This report shows how the net supramolecular chirality that emerged by spontaneous mirror-
symmetry breaking (SMSB) at the mesoscale level can be transferred towards asymmetric …
