An extensive computational study by researchers from Finland's University of Jyväskylä predicts that gold nanoclusters could selectively recognize chiral biomolecules. This property may help in ...

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 ...

Engineers created a MEMS-tunable twisted bilayer photonic crystal chip that dynamically adjusts twist angle and spacing to ...

Some molecules exist in two forms, such that their structures and their mirror images are not superimposable, like our left and right hands. As a result of their asymmetry, these molecules exhibit a ...

In trying to produce artificial chirality in the lab, chemists have found that the distribution of a magnetic field is itself chiral. Some molecules exist in two forms such that their structures and ...

The rapidly growing field of research on chiral phonons is giving researchers new insights into the fundamental behaviors and structures of materials. The chirality of phonons could pave the way for ...

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 ...

Researchers at the Harvard John A. Paulson School of Engineering and Applied Sciences (SEAS) have created a chip-scale device ...

RIVERSIDE, Calif. -- Some molecules exist in two forms such that their structures and their mirror images are not superimposable, like our left and right hands. Called chirality, it is a property ...
