Event End:
2021-02-04T17:00:00
Event Information:
Understanding the origin of life surely qualifies as one of the deepest and most perplexing questions facing humankind. While we have not yet reached a consensus on the definition of life, biological homochirality seems to be part of the definition as a necessary step for life's emergence. The unraveling of its origin require interdisciplinary research, by exploring each of fundamental physics, modern chemistry, astrophysics and biology. In this talk, We will focus on the origin of biological homochirality in the context of astrophysics and particle physics.
