Max Planck Institute for the Structure and Dynamics of Matter Chirality is one of the most fundamental geometric properties and plays a special role in biology, chemistry and physics. It can cause ...

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 ...

Artificially-engineered chiral materials with exceptional light-manipulating capabilities show significantly-enhanced chiroptical response and capability of light manipulation, which have emerged as a ...

Whether or not an object is indistinguishable from its mirror image has important consequences for its physical behavior. Say you watch a basketball player in a mirror. The ball, the player and their ...

Researchers have observed structural chirality, a biological property important to photosynthesis, emerging in achiral conjugated polymers. Their discovery could help enhance flexible solar cell ...

A technical paper titled “Subtle Molecular Changes Largely Modulate Chiral Helical Assemblies of Achiral Conjugated Polymers by Tuning Solution-State Aggregation” was published by researchers at ...

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 ...

(Nanowerk News) A research team has discovered that achiral hard banana-shaped particles can spontaneously form exotic structures like skyrmions and blue phase III phases. Skyrmions are tiny ...
