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 from The Grainger College of Engineering at the University of Illinois Urbana-Champaign have reported the first ...

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 ...

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 ...

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, 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 ...

A way to electrically modify the chirality of organic–inorganic hybrid materials, in which chiral molecules adsorb onto inorganic surfaces, has been demonstrated by researchers at Science Tokyo. By ...

A new type of OLED can generate left- or right-handed circularly polarized light from just one form of light-emitting ...

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

Doubly stapled α-helix consisting only of achiral amino acids. Its one-handed form can be isolated because the interconversion between the right- and left-handed forms is almost completely suppressed.
