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…
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…
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…
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…
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…
