Vacuum is often thought of as empty, but in fact it is teeming with fleeting energy fluctuations—virtual photons popping in ...

A new platform for engineering chiral electron pathways offers potential fresh insights into a quantum phenomenon discovered ...

You’d think there would be a law against this, and scientists thought there was, but somehow it happens, and it could help ...

Researchers have developed what amounts to a programmable platform for quantum chirality that could provide new approaches to ...

Chirality—the property of an object that is distinct from its mirror image—has long captivated scientists across biology, chemistry, and physics. The phenomenon is sometimes called "handedness ...

By combining the principles of physics, chemistry, and biology, scientists have crafted a special programmable platform to ...

The resulting three vectors of angular momentum can be oriented with respect to each other in two distinct ways – corresponding to two possible resultant spins for the nucleus – and Starosta’s team ...

(Courtesy: D Ayuso) Light that encodes chirality in time is efficient at driving chiral electronic currents inside the molecules, he tells Physics World. These currents then interact with the ...

The discovery is based on a unique aspect of the material where electrons can be separated by their chirality, or handedness ... achieved,” said Boston College Associate Professor of Physics Kenneth ...

By scrutinizing nonreciprocity in chiral superconductors and leveraging ... This breakthrough not only promises to have a profound impact on both physics and chemistry but also introduces a ...
