<p>Title :</p>
<p>The electron’s spin and molecular chirality - How are they related and how can they be utilized?</p>
<p>Abstract :</p>
<p>Spin based properties, applications, and devices are commonly related to magnetic effects and to magnetic materials. However, we found that chiral organic molecules act as spin filters for photoelectrons transmission,<sup>1</sup>  in electron transfer,<sup>2</sup> and in electron transport.<sup>3</sup></p>
<p> </p>
<p>The new effect, termed Chiral Induced Spin Selectivity (CISS),<sup>4,5</sup>  was found, among others, in bio-molecules and in bio-systems. It has interesting implications for the production of new types of spintronics devices,<sup>6,7</sup> and on electron transfer in biological systems.<sup>8</sup>  The basic effect will be explained and various applications and implications will be discussed.</p>
