Exploring the spin degree of freedom offers fascinating options for nanoscale functionality, and also provides new experimental data for improving our insight into fundamental aspects of nonequilibrium physics at that scale. Chiral induced spin selectivity (CISS) is a particularly intriguing example of this, as it leads to spin preferences in electrons transported through chiral molecules, even though the molecules themselves are diamagnetic. Its underlying mechanism is still not understood [1]. We discuss recent progress in the first-principles description of CISS [2-6], such as the importance of exchange and the buildup of nonequilibrium spin in the junction. [1] F. Evers et al., Adv.
