Hand Pointing Atom ModelElectron spin may subtly break the symmetry between mirror-image molecules, helping explain why biology chose one molecular hand. Scientists may have uncovered a quantum-level clue to one of biology’s oldest mysteries: why life overwhelmingly favors one molecular “hand” over its mirror image. A new study points to electron spin, a subtle quantum property, as a [...]
