Abstract
Chirality is the property that defines an object that lacks mirror-symmetry. It is a fundamental property closely associated with life on earth and it therefore has far-reaching consequences. The fact that the world around us discriminates between left- and right-handed enantiomers is well-recognized but was certainly not envisioned by Louis Pasteur when he started the first experiments with chiral molecules and crystals more than 170 years ago.
