Scientists have discovered a direct correlation between the Bovis scale and the direction of spin displayed by an atom or molecule.  Atoms registering in the negative Bovis range will spin to the right, or clockwise.  Atoms in the positive Bovis range spin, to the left, or counterclockwise.

Examples found in nature of this spin properly include cellular DNA, which is a left-turning spiral:  in contrast, cancer cells are in a right-turning spiral.
