    Summary:
    Scientists have created twisted laser beams that interact differently with right-handed and left-handed molecules,
    revealing their identity through the fragments they produce.
    The approach could provide a faster, simpler, and more sensitive way to analyze important molecules used in chemistry and pharmaceuticals.
