Periodic Reporting for period 2 - CHIRALFORCE (Chiral separation of molecules enabled by enantioselective optical forces in integrated nanophotonic circuits)

The molecular building blocks of life—such as sugars and amino acids—are of only one-handedness. This broken molecular symmetry has important consequences for bioactive compounds: a molecule of one handedness (i.e. enantiomer) can be an effective medicine while its mirror...
