AdvertisementKANAZAWA, Japan, Nov. 8, 2023 /PRNewswire/ — Researchers at Kanazawa University report in Science Advances how they can accelerate and decelerate chirality inversion in large cage molecules using alkali metal ion binding. Now researchers led by Shigehisa Akine at Kanazawa University have demonstrated how environmental changes can also accelerate or decelerate this chiral inversion process, providing “a novel time-programmable switchable system”. Acceleration and deceleration of chirality inversion speeds in a dynamic helical metallocryptand by alkali metal ion binding, Science Advances 9, eadj5536 (2023). About Kanazawa Universityhttp://www.kanazawa-u.ac.jp/e/As the leading comprehensive university on the Sea of Japan coast, Kanazawa University has contributed greatly to higher education and academic research in Japan since it was founded in 1949. Kanazawa University is divided into two main campuses: Kakuma and Takaramachi for its approximately 10,200 students including 600 from overseas.
