Chirality: The Science of Handedness and How it Shapes Our World

Discover how chirality affects biological molecules and the natural world through non-superimposable forms. Place your hands in front of you with your palms facing up, and you will see that your left and right hands are mirror images of each other. Nowplace your left palm on your right (with both palms still facing up), and you will observe that you cannot hide one hand behind the other completely. That is, they cannot be superimposed on each other.

Abstract

Discover how chirality affects biological molecules and the natural world through non-superimposable forms. Place your hands in front of you with your palms facing up, and you will see that your left and right hands are mirror images of each other. Nowplace your left palm on your right (with both palms still facing up), and you will observe that you cannot hide one hand behind the other completely. That is, they cannot be superimposed on each other.
