Simple encapsulation by terpene-based chiral capsules allows various non-chiral organic dyes to display chiroptical properties in water, without requiring elaborate chemical modifications, scientists ...

Terahertz light has the ability to control solids at the atomic level, forming chiral structures of left- and right-handedness. Chirality refers to objects that cannot be superimposed to their mirror ...

The chirality lies in the geometry Scanning electron microscopy (SEM) image of nickel-based artificial chiral magnets fabricated at EPFL’s Center of MicroNanoTechnology. (Courtesy: Mingran Xu, Dirk ...

A voltage-driven method enables reversible, tunable chiral states in semiconductor materials. (Nanowerk News) A way to electrically modify the chirality of organic–inorganic hybrid materials, in which ...

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," ...

The direction in which spin information is injected into chiral materials affects its ability to pass through them. These chiral 'gateways' could be used to design energy-efficient spintronic devices ...

Water-assembled capsules act as sophisticated nanotools, inducing and tuning chirality in metal dyes without chemical changes, with precise thermal control and adaptability. (Nanowerk News) In nature, ...

Researchers have captured the first direct, momentum-resolved evidence that certain lattice vibrations carry measurable magnetic signatures, using neutron spectroscopy on a specially engineered ...

Chirality is an essential property in biology; the molecular building blocks of some of the most important biological structures, including DNA and proteins, are chiral. When a molecule is said to be ...
