The direction in which the electromagnetic field of circularly polarized light rotates can be easily reversed by applying a ...

New research describes how the modulation of the geometry of a helical reactor at a macroscopic level enables controlling the sign of chirality of a process at a nanometric scale, an unprecedented ...

A team of chemists has made significant strides in the field of mechanically interlocked molecules (MIMs). Their work showcases the development of a compact catenane with tuneable mechanical chirality ...

A voltage-driven method enables reversible, tunable chiral states in semiconductor materials. (Nanowerk News) A way to electrically modify the chirality of organic–inorganic hybrid materials, in which ...

In the past several decades, significant progress has been made in controlling molecular chirality, as evidenced by the several Nobel Prizes in chemistry awarded in this area, particularly for ...

(a) Schematics of nonreciprocal transports by fluctuating Cooper pairs. (b) Observed amplitude of nonreciprocity in the chiral organic superconductor in comparison with polar inorganic superconductors ...

In our high school chemistry classes we all learn about chirality, the property of organic molecules in which two chemically identical molecules can have different structures that are mirror images of ...

The recognition of chirality in bioactive molecules is as old as modern organic chemistry itself. Pioneering work by Jean-Baptiste Biot, Louis Pasteur, Emil Fischer, and J. vant Hoff established ...

A project led by Spain's ICFO photonics research center has developed an ultrafast technique for the imaging of molecular chirality with extremely high temporal resolution. The dynamics of chiral ...
