Fascinating to see that French "tacos" have made to LA as the "FrenchFold".

Probably my zaniest preprint to date just came out. I've explored the possibility that reactions of radical pairs can become enantioselective when one of the radicals is spin-polarised.

A very cool paper from Tomo Mani's group out in JACS using spin-correlated radical pairs to produce up to 70% magnetic field effects on triplet-triplet annihilation photon upconversion. Even a fridge magnet has a visible effect! #ChemSky
