False Chirality, Absolute Enantioselection and <i>CP</i> Violation: Pierre Curie’s Legacy
The 1884 suggestion of Pierre Curie (1859−1906) that the type of dissymmetry shown by collinear electric and magnetic fields may induce an enantiomeric excess, in a chemical reaction that would otherwise produce a racemic mixture, is explored in the context of fundamental symmetry argument...
