Look up chirality in Wiktionary, the free dictionary. Chirality (handedness) is a property of asymmetry. Chirality may also refer to: Chirality (chemistry)...

Chien-Shiung Wu, the weak interaction is chiral and thus provides a means for probing chirality in physics. In her experiment, Wu took advantage of the...

Planar chirality, also known as 2D chirality, is the special case of chirality for two dimensions. Most fundamentally, planar chirality is a mathematical...

The asymmetric atom is called a chirality center, a type of stereocenter. A chirality center is also called a chiral center or an asymmetric center. Some...

In theoretical physics, a chiral anomaly is the anomalous nonconservation of a chiral current. In everyday terms, it is analogous to a sealed box that...

weak interactions as chirality eigenstates. Chirality of a massive particle is not a constant of motion; helicity is, but the chirality operator does not...
