New Scientific Finding: Light Can Be Used to Control Molecular HandednessResearchers at Freie Universität Berlin took part in a new study on chiral molecules recently published in "Science Advances" In a recent study, researchers at Freie Universität Berlin, the DESY research center in Hamburg, Kiel University, and Kansas State University have shown how light can turn a planar molecule into a chiral molecule with just one particular handedness, providing a solution to the long-standing problem of absolute asymmetric synthesis.
