[en] The chirality in nuclei was largely debated in the last years, when results obtained with large gamma arrays on the best odd-odd candidates, like in the case of 1^34Pr, were in contradiction with the theoretical predictions. However, the results recent lifetime measurements in the odd-even 1^35Nd nucleus showed that the chiral conditions are best fulfilled in three-quasiparticle configurations involving 1 neutron and 2 protons in h_11/2. Recent TAC+RPA and IBFM+BP calculations substantiate the interpretation of the observed degenerate doublet bands in odd-even nuclei of the A=130 mass region as chiral partners. An overview of the recent experimental results will be presented.(author)
