chirality 手性is a signature of life as we know it.

 In 1848, Louis Pasteur discovered that crystals left from over-boiled wine barrels shared mirror-image molecules, as if one were a left-handed version and the other was right-handed. The phenomenon, now called chirality, is a signature of life as we know it. https://www.quantamagazine.org/magnetism-may-have-given-life-its-molecular-asymmetry-20230906/手性手性

1848年，路易斯·巴斯德發現，從過度煮沸的酒桶中留下的晶體具有鏡像分子，就好像一個是左旋分子，另一個是右旋分子。 這種現象現在被稱為手性，是我們所知的生命的特徵。 https://www.quantamagazine.org/magnetism-may-have-given-life-its-molecular-asymmetry-20230906/
