Mirror-image molecules are difficult to separate from their counterparts, but a new catalytic method might be the answer

Дата публикации: 21-10-2026 15:50:01

Just like gloves, molecules can have left- and right-handed—or mirror-image—forms. Because the left- and right-handed molecules are still very similar, scientists have had trouble separating them from each other. But a team of researchers in Japan might have found a solution. In their new study, published in Science Advances, the team successfully separated an equal mixture of mirror-image molecules created by replacing hydrogen with deuterium in one form.
