Deskripsi

Identification of chiral molecules in multi-component mixtures of unknown compositions remains a challenge. Here, the authors show that microwave three-wave mixing that uses broad-spectrum fields can detect chiral molecules in enantiomeric excess without prior chemical knowledge of the sample.
