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

Tokyo, Japan – Researchers from Tokyo Metropolitan University have created a new superconductor with a chiral crystalline structure by mixing two materials, one with superconductivity but no chirality ...

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 ...

Some molecules exist in two forms, such that their structures and their mirror images are not superimposable, like our left and right hands. As a result of their asymmetry, these molecules exhibit a ...

Scientists at Harvard have built a miniature device that can twist and tune light in real time. By rotating two stacked ...

Chirality, or "handedness," is a fundamental property of objects, from galaxies to molecules, and plays a crucial role in biological systems. However, chiral compounds in living organisms such as ...

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 ...

Doubly stapled α-helix consisting only of achiral amino acids. Its one-handed form can be isolated because the interconversion between the right- and left-handed forms is almost completely suppressed.

The rapidly growing field of research on chiral phonons is giving researchers new insights into the fundamental behaviors and structures of materials. The chirality of phonons could pave the way for ...

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