A new technique involving terahertz light has enabled the creation of chiral states in non-chiral materials, offering ...

Chirality is a fundamental property of matter that determines many biological, chemical and physical phenomena. Chiral solids, for example, offer exciting opportunities for catalysis, sensing and ...

Chirality is the property of an object that makes it different from its mirror image, like our left and right hands. In ...

Chirality refers to objects that cannot be superimposed to their mirror images through any combination of rotations or translations, much like the ...

The role of electrons and their negative charge in electric current is well established. Electrons also exhibit other ...

"By exciting a specific terahertz frequency vibrational mode, which displaces the crystal lattice along the coordinates of other modes in the material, we created a chiral state that survives for ...
