A method for measuring the chirality of molecules in a sample of chiral molecules, the sample including at least one chemical species, the method including the steps of: introducing the sample of chiral molecules into an ionisation area; ionising the molecules by electromagnetic radiation in the ionisation area; and detecting a distribution of electrons produced by ionisation and emitted at the front and back of the ionisation area relative to the axis, z, of propagation of the electromagnetic radiation; wherein the electromagnetic radiation is elliptically polarised, the ellipticity varying continuously and periodically as a function of time, the method further including a step of: determining the chirality of the molecules from the electron distribution detected continuously as a function of time. A system is also provided for measuring the chirality of molecules using such a method.
