Dynamic Breaking of Mirror Symmetry in Spin-Dependent Electron Transport through Chiral Media Causes Enantiomeric Excesses
Yossi Paltiel, Daniel Goldberg, Nir Yuran +9
Two fundamental questions have puzzled scientists for more than 150 years. How did life become homochiral and why was this specific handedness selected. Recently, it has been shown…
Xenon Anesthesia and Nuclear Spin Effects in Chiral Systems
Allan Wang, S. Furkan Ozturk
A general mechanism for anesthetic function is not fully understood. Similarly, the mechanism by which xenon, a chemically inert noble gas, can produce anesthetic effects remains a…
Prebiotic magnetite enables chirality-magnetic surface feedback
Jose A. P. M. Devienne, Ziwei Liu, Clancy Z. Jiang +5
The emergence of biomolecular homochirality requires both an initial symmetry-breaking event and a mechanism to amplify and preserve a chiral imbalance. Magnetic minerals have been…
Chiral Phonons Enhance Ferromagnetism
Jonas Fransson, Yael Kapon, Lilach Brann +4
Recent experiments suggest that the conditions for ferromagnetic order in, e.g., magnetite, can be modified by adsorption of chiral molecules. Especially, the coercivity of magneti…
Temperature-Enhanced Coercive Field by Chiral Molecules
Yael Kapon, Lilach Brann, Shira Yochelis +4
The chiral-induced spin selectivity (CISS) effect demonstrates a strong coupling between electron spin and molecular chirality, enabling spin-controlled interactions between chiral…
The central dogma of biological homochirality: How does chiral information propagate in a prebiotic network?
S. Furkan Ozturk, Dimitar D. Sasselov, John D. Sutherland
Biological systems are homochiral, raising the question of how a racemic mixture of prebiotically synthesized biomolecules could attain a homochiral state at the network level. Bas…
Dipolar quantum solids emerging in a Hubbard quantum simulator
Lin Su, Alexander Douglas, Michal Szurek +10
In quantum mechanical many-body systems, long-range and anisotropic interactions promote rich spatial structure and can lead to quantum frustration, giving rise to a wealth of comp…
Chirality-Induced Magnetization of Magnetite by an RNA Precursor
S. Furkan Ozturk, Deb Kumar Bhowmick, Yael Kapon +5
Life is homochiral and homochirality is a fundamental feature of living systems on Earth. While the exact mechanism that led to homochirality is still not fully understood, any rea…
Origin of Biological Homochirality by Crystallization of an RNA Precursor on a Magnetic Surface
S. Furkan Ozturk, Ziwei Liu, John D. Sutherland +1
Homochirality is a signature of life on Earth yet its origins remain an unsolved puzzle. Achieving homochirality is essential for a high-yielding prebiotic network capable of produ…
On the Origins of Life's Homochirality: Inducing Enantiomeric Excess with Spin-Polarized Electrons
S. Furkan Ozturk, Dimitar D. Sasselov
Life as we know it is homochiral, but the origins of biological homochirality on early Earth remain elusive. Shallow closed-basin lakes are a plausible prebiotic environment on ear…
