These results help fill in a critical link in the chain from molecules to organs and bodies, the researchers say. "Our findings provide new insights into how molecular chirality gives rise to cellular ...

A way to electrically modify the chirality of organic–inorganic hybrid materials, in which chiral molecules adsorb onto inorganic surfaces, has been demonstrated by researchers at Science Tokyo. By ...

RIKEN researchers have discovered how right-handed molecules in our cells can give rise to cells that are not symmetrical about their central axes. This discovery is a key step toward determining why ...

Figure 1: Microscopy image showing the concentric pattern of F-actin, which gives rise to the clockwise rotation of the nucleus cytoplasm (the colors indicate the ...

RIKEN physicists have discovered for the first time why the magnitude of the electron flow depends on direction in a special kind of magnet. This finding could help to realize future low-energy ...
