One of the biggest problems facing modern microelectronics is that computer chips can no longer be made arbitrarily smaller ...
Tokyo, Japan – Researchers from Tokyo Metropolitan University have created a new superconductor with a chiral crystalline structure by mixing two materials, one with superconductivity but no chirality ...
Recent studies have revealed that electrons passing through chiral molecules exhibit significant spin polarization—a phenomenon known as chirality-induced spin selectivity. This effect stems from a ...
Researchers developed a new method that allows, for the first time, to elucidate the chiral structure of molecules -- the exact spatial arrangement of the atoms -- by nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) ...
A study finds chiral structures, with mirror-image configurations, can emerge from nonchiral systems, suggesting new ways to engineer these materials. Hold your hands out in front of you, and no ...
The second paper, "Fermion Chirality from Non-Bipartite Topology," applies this same lattice geometry to the quantum world. It proposes that the "handedness" (chirality) of subatomic particles is not ...
Chiral metasurfaces can strongly twist the polarization of light, but how this process unfolds in space and time has been unclear. Scientists in China have now used ultrafast electron microscopy and ...
Chiral gold nanostars show how molecular asymmetry transfers to high-symmetry nanoparticles, producing structures with distinctive optical behavior and enhanced molecular detection. (Nanowerk ...
Chirality, or "handedness," is a fundamental property of objects, from galaxies to molecules, and plays a crucial role in biological systems. However, chiral compounds in living organisms such as ...
