      <content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Left and Right handed molecules</p>

<p>Some interesting research has taken place and there is now a better explanation of why we have right and left handed molecules.</p>

<p>The article <a href="https://www.science.org/content/article/breakthrough-could-explain-why-life-molecules-are-left-or-right-handed" rel="nofollow">Breakthrough’ could explain why life molecules are left- or right-handed</a> was published on <a href="https://www.science.org" rel="nofollow">Science.org</a> and shared on the Fediverse.</p>

<p>I have asked a question about this and also <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cis%E2%80%93trans_isomerism" rel="nofollow">how cis &amp; trans molecules are also created</a>. even though this is referred to as stereoisomerism, so a different topic area.</p>
