摘要：

This article summarizes a series of recent and simple experiments to produce optically active substances from achiral precursors. These symmetry-breaking processes include either autocatalytic crystallization or asymmetric autocatalysis, and provide new insights into the origin of biomolecular homochirality. In addition, support from an extraterrestrial origin of chiral molecules has also come from recent findings.
