Light can carry angular momentum in two distinct ways. One comes from polarization, which describes how the electric field ...

An extensive computational study by researchers from Finland's University of Jyväskylä predicts that gold nanoclusters could ...

In trying to produce artificial chirality in the lab, chemists have found that the distribution of a magnetic field is itself chiral. Some molecules exist in two forms such that their structures and ...

Researchers have developed what amounts to a programmable platform for quantum chirality that could provide new approaches to explore interacting electrons in chiral systems. (Nanowerk News) A new ...

Researchers chiral phonons to convert wasted heat into spin information -- without needing magnetic materials. The finding could lead to new classes of less expensive, energy-efficient spintronic ...

Modern chiral stationary phases allow rapid ER analysis and are applied to separate a wide range of chiral compounds. ER determination via chiral stationary phases allows facile assignment of absolute ...

Chirality is the breaking of reflection and inversion symmetries. Simply put, it is when an object’s mirror images cannot be superimposed over each other. A common example are your two hands—while ...

The chirality lies in the geometry Scanning electron microscopy (SEM) image of nickel-based artificial chiral magnets ...
