Argonne scientists discover possible mechanism for creating "handedness" in biological molecules
(03 Dec 2008)
Chirality can be induced by irradiation of magnetic substrates
The basic molecules that make up all living things have a predetermined chirality or "handedness”. This chirality has a profound influence on the chemistry and molecular interactions of living organisms. The inception of chirality from the ...

Compound could help detect chemical, biological weapons
(30 Sep 2008)
Advanced Photon Source only place in U.S. to examine such small crystals
A light-transmitting compound that could one day be used in high-efficiency fiber optics and sensors that detect biological and chemical weapons at long distance almost went undiscovered by scientists because its structure was too difficult to ...
