New Findings Related to the Chiral Selection

Abstract

The article "Enantioselective Adsorption on Magnetic Surfaces" of Mohammad Reza Safari et al published in the journal Advanced Materials (2023) discusses very interesting findings related to the chiral selection. There is a copper conductor with a strong electric field in the normal direction of the conductor. Cu is not a magnetic substance. There are very thin Cobalt islands at the surface of the conductor. Cobalt is a magnetic metal. There are two options: magnetization direction is North or South and it corresponds to either up or down. North up and South down are the options and these could correspond to different chiralities somehow. The molecules drift to the Cobalt islands and, depending on their chirality, prefer to bind to either south-up or north-up Cobalt islands. Are the magnetic fields of islands helical and possess a definite chirality? Does the magnetic chirality tend to be the same or opposite to that of the enantiomer that binds to it? The effect is reported to occur already before the Cobalt islands in the drifting of molecules to the Cobalt islands. Counterparts of magnetic fields are not present outside the Cobalt islands. It is also found that electrons with a given spin direction prefer to tunnel through the molecules in a direction which correlates with the chirality. Chiral selection is a mystery in standard model physics since it represents huge parity violation. TGD suggests a mechanism of parity violation in terms of the hierarchy of effective Planck constants labeling phases behaving like dark matter. For a large enough value of h_eff, the dark weak boson Compton length would be a biological scale and below this scale the parity violation would be large. This motivates a concrete model for what occurs in the experimental situation. The model provides support for the generalizations of Pollack effect and dark genetic code replacing dark protons with dark electrons.
