Field work in one of the smallest countries, Sao Tome, looking for one of the largest snails, unfortunately also endangered. Success! Giant Obo snail, bigger than your regular Giant African land snail - and sinistral coiling. PS individuals shown are only teenagers, not fully grown #snails #saotome #chirality
Polenta is chiral. Clockwise stirred doesn’t mix with anti-clockwise, esp if done with the left hand. Something for @lowqualityfacts to ponder. #polenta #chirality #food #carboloading

@cuzned it looked fine when getting dressed in the mirror!

Have Twix bars always exhibited #chirality, or is this a recent development?

"Origin of switchable #quasiparticle-interference #chirality in loop-current phase of #kagome metals measured by scanning-tunneling-microscopy"

"Here, we reveal theoretically that a pronounced chiral quasiparticle interference signal emerges in the extremely dilute impurity regime ( ≲ 0.1%)."

Origin of switchable quasiparticle-interference chirality in loop-current phase of kagome metals measured by scanning-tunneling-microscopy - Nature Communications

The connection between loop current chirality and quasiparticle interference chirality remains not fully understood. Here, the authors investigate the origin of the quasiparticle interference signal in the loop-current phase.

What is the significance of the evolution from chiral molecular macrocycles to chiral topological macrocycles?

A novel strategy was designed for guiding supramolecular macrocycles into nanoscale chiral topological toroids, establishing hierarchical self-assembly pathways for advanced chiroptical materials

Garden snail genome now available. Amongst other things, a fantastic resource for trying to understand chiral variation in my lab snails.
