Abstract
Among other things, to cause directional motion of chiral objects in a mixture in a chamber, a field is rotated relative to a chamber to cause rotation of the chiral objects. The rotation of the objects caused them to move directionally based on their chirality.
Claims111
A method for use in directional motion of chiral objects in a mixture, the method comprising, within a chamber that contains the chiral objects in the mixture, applying a field across the chamber that has a field direction and is rotating relative to the chamber to cause rotation of the chiral objects, each chiral object's axis of rotation lying at least partly within the chiral object itself, the rotations of the chiral objects causing a net directional motion of the chiral objects along the axis of rotation of the field.
