Image or mirror image?
March 9, 2012
Chiral recognition by femtosecond laser It is not always easy to distinguish between images and mirror images of molecules, but this knowledge is important when one image of a molecule is a drug and the mirror image is toxic. One new approach to this may be chiral recognition in the gas phase. This involves using […]
How fast black holes spin in quasars
