The weak nuclear force violates parity symmetry and distinguishes left from right handedness
The weak nuclear force violates parity symmetry, providing a fundamental mechanism that distinguishes left-handedness from right-handedness in physical and chemical systems.
The retrieved papers consistently support the well-established physical fact that the weak nuclear force violates parity and connects this phenomenon to handedness (chirality) in nature.
Quack M, Seyfang G, Wichmann G. Perspectives on parity violation in chiral molecules: theory, spectroscopic experiment and biomolecular homochirality.. 2022. https://doi.org/10.1039/d2sc01323a
Discusses how parity violation is a fundamental feature of the weak interaction and connects it to chiral molecules and spatial handedness.

Notes that bioorganic asymmetry and handedness may be intrinsically derived from parity violation in the weak interaction.
