Magnetism May Have Given Life Its Molecular Asymmetry 

Living things are asymmetrical, even at the molecular level: Although many essential biomolecules exist in distinct mirror-image forms, cells tend to use just one of those forms exclusively. An article in Quanta Magazine sheds light on the concept of chirality and research into its origins involving primordial magnetism. A few excerpts of the fascinating article here: […]

No-Magnets Motor from C-Motive Lauded in DOE Competition 

Make a five-minute pitch to a thousand plum contacts and potential funders, win $20,000 and a shot at $500,000. It was a good day’s work for start-up C-Motive at the U.S Department of Energy EPIC competition — drawing attention to the company’s innovative electrostatic motor that uses printed circuit boards instead of magnets.  […]
