    intriguing. Could perhaps another far-fetched explanation for the #homochirality of #biomolecules be based on this? #science #physics #OriginOfLife #astrobiology

  2. `Here we fabricate a single-molecule quantum #sensor at the apex of the metallic tip of a scanning tunnelling microscope..we measure the magnetic and electric dipole fields emanating from a single Fe atom..Our method enables atomic-scale quantum sensing experiments of electric and #magnetic fields on conducting surfaces and may find applications in the sensing of spin-labelled #biomolecules and of spin textures in #quantum #materials`

    "Traces of ancient #biomolecules can clearly survive for millions of years, but you can't read the #fossil record literally because even seemingly well-preserved fossil tissues have been cooked and squashed during #fossilization."
