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 ...

The phenomenon where electron spins align in a specific direction after passing through chiral materials is a cornerstone for ...

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 ...

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 ...

Chiral gold nanostars show how molecular asymmetry transfers to high-symmetry nanoparticles, producing structures with distinctive optical behavior and enhanced molecular detection. (Nanowerk ...

Abstract The interaction between electron spin and molecular chirality plays a fundamental role in quantum phenomena with significant implications for ...

Researchers from the Institute for Molecular Science and Seoul National University have found that the visible luminescence from chiral gold nanoparticles, when exposed to near-infrared femtosecond ...
