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

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 ...

Electrons have a hidden feature — spin — that could revolutionize technology. Magnets can control it, but researchers are now ...

The paper is called "Application of Photo-Induced Chirality in Covert Authentication" and explains how photo-induced chirality in Ge 2 Sb 2 Te 5 thin films can be exploited to improve authentication.

Researchers verified the chiral-induced spin selectivity effect, i.e., the influence of chiral molecules on spin, using spintronic analytical techniques.

The creation of chiral materials from semiconductors at Cornell opens new avenues for optical sensors and displays, enhancing ...

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