Homochirality in space – Selective enrichment of chiral molecules on chiral surfaces

Life on Earth, as we know it to day, is inseparable from homochirality. The presence of an enantiomeric excess in carbonaceous chondrites is well documented; among the different hypotheses considered to explain this undisputed fact, we chose to investigate the possibilities open by a selective adso...
