Alice Through The Chiral Glass: Homochirality & The Strong Nuclear Force

Step through the looking-glass and into the strange world of molecular handedness, where sugars twist light into rainbows, amino acids choose sides, and life itself leans decisively in one direction.Alongside a reimagined journey with Alice, we follow the clues hidden in chirality and homochirality, uncovering how a tiny asymmetry shaped every cell on Earth. And then we turn the mirror around: what would a world of opposite-handed life look like, and what risks might it bring?Don't forget to leave us a review!
