Researchers have discovered a method to induce chirality in non-chiral materials using terahertz light. This groundbreaking ...

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 ...

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

"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 ...

Another study introduced a novel auxetic chiral lattice composite, which aimed to improve the mechanical performance of auxetic structures by optimizing the design of joints within the frames.

This finding could open a breadth of new quantum device platforms for harnessing emergent topological states for novel chiral nano-spintronics and fault-tolerant quantum computing. Entitled ...

Three exotic new species of superconductivity were spotted last year, illustrating the myriad ways electrons can join together to form a frictionless quantum soup.
