Left and Right handed molecules
Some interesting research has taken place and there is now a better explanation of why we have right and left handed molecules.
The article Breakthrough’ could explain why life molecules are left- or right-handed was published on Science.org and shared on the Fediverse.
I have asked a question about this and also how cis & trans molecules are also created. even though this is referred to as stereoisomerism, so a different topic area.
Papers & articles
I would suggest reading in the context of the above article, as they are all linked from that.

I have decided to republish these links as there are a few people on the Fediverse who work or are involved in InfoSec and CyberSecurity. These videos are a starting point as it is very useful to understand how to use the GNU/Linux command line along with related tools in general.
You may find the links on the BASH Basics post useful

This was posted to the Fediverse earlier, a paper looking at how EU countries are phasing out fossil fuels.
Fantastic news. If I understand the Chemistry and Geology, Fossil fuels were created as a by product of dead plants etc from a long extinct era, millions of years ago. Lets leave em in the ground.
