Hold out your hands, palms up, and move them so they are on top of each other. With a little experimentation—and perhaps a ...

The discovery is based on a unique aspect of the material where electrons can be separated by their chirality, or handedness, similar to DNA. The findings may offer a new route to efficient generation ...

A striking manifestation of this phenomenon is the enormous spin polarization termed chirality-induced spin selectivity (CISS), which has been reported extensively in chiral organic molecules.

A recent study has presented a new strategy for controlling the chirality—the property where a molecule has non-superimposable mirror images—of mechanically interlocked molecules (MIMs ...

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 ...

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

For Wan, now at Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute in New York, the work was an introduction to an odd quirk of animal biology: cell chirality, a little-understood phenomenon that a handful of ...

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 ...

(Courtesy: Ella Maru Studio) Researchers at the University of Michigan in the US have created bowtie-shaped nanostructured microparticles whose chirality, or handedness, can be tuned continuously over ...

Natural life is characterized by specific molecular chirality, with ribonucleic acid (RNA), deoxyribonucleic acid (DNA), and proteins being composed of specific enantiomers. Advances in synthetic ...
