Chirality
For the manga by Satoshi Urushihara, see Chirality (manga). Chirality, handedness, derived from the Greek χειρ, kheir, "hand" is an asymmetry property important in several branches of science. An object or a system is called chiral if it differs from its mirror image, and its mirror image cannot superimpose on the original object. A chiral object and its mirror image are called enantiomorphs (Greek opposite forms) or, when referring to molecules, enantiomers. A non-chiral object is called achiral (sometimes also amphichiral) and can be superimposed on its mirror image.
