Optical rotation is a fundamental phenomenon observed when plane-polarised light traverses chiral media. This intrinsic property of chiral molecules renders them capable of rotating the plane of ...

Chirality is the property that the structure is not superposable on its mirrored image. Chiral materials exhibit the characteristic feature that they respond differently to left- and right-circularly ...

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

Physicists have experimentally demonstrates a novel physical effect that was predicted 45 years ago. The effect will result in a new chemical analysis technique, to simultaneously identify molecular ...

(Nanowerk News) Professor Yeom’s research team (Department of Materials Science and Engineering, KAIST) developed chiral ceramic nanostructures with broad chiroptical activity through a self-assembly ...

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 ...

Chiral-structural-color materials produce color through microscopic structures that interact with light rather than through ...

A technical paper titled “Chirality logic gates” was published by researchers at Aalto University (Finland), National Center for Nanoscience and Technology (Beijing), and University of Cambridge. “The ...

Researchers at Cornell University have developed a method to convert symmetric semiconductor particles into chiral ...

A research group led by Dr. Jialei He of Nagoya University's Graduate School of Engineering has developed a method for processing cholesteric liquid crystals (CLCs) into micrometer-sized spherical ...
