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 …

The chirality of small metabolic molecules is important in controlling physiological processes
and indicating the health status of humans. Abnormal enantiomeric ratios of chiral molecules …

Einstein proposed his theory of special relativity in 1905. For a long time it was believed that
this theory has no significant impact on chemistry. This view changed in the 1970s when it …

Written by two of the world's leading researchers in the field, this is a systematic introduction
to the fundamental principles of coherent control, and to the underlying physics and …

STIRAP (stimulated Raman adiabatic passage) is a powerful laser-based method, usually
involving two photons, for efficient and selective transfer of populations between quantum …

Molecules containing short-lived, radioactive nuclei are uniquely positioned to enable a
wide range of scientific discoveries in the areas of fundamental symmetries, astrophysics …

The merging of coherent control (CC) and adiabatic passage (AP) and the type of problems
that can be solved using the resulting coherently controlled adiabatic passage (CCAP) …

Parity violation leads to energy differences ΔpvH _0^⊖= NAΔpvE of enantiomers in the
femtojoule to picojoule per mole range. Recently introduced methods of electroweak …

The reflection (or 'mirror') symmetry of space is among the fundamental symmetries of
physics. It is connected to the conservation law for the quantum number parity and a …

" How did life originate and why were left-handed molecules selected for its architecture?"
This question of high public and interdisciplinary scientific interest is the central theme of this …
