(Nanowerk Spotlight) Scientists from the College of Chemistry and Molecular Sciences at Wuhan University reported a novel class of chiral materials called bichiral nanoparticles that can easily tune ...

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 ...

A non-chiral, superconducting material and a chiral, non-superconducting material were combined in different element ratios to create a new compound with the properties of both. Credit: Tokyo ...

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 ...

HOUSTON – (July 25, 2022) – Tetrahedron-shaped nanoparticles are interesting enough by themselves, but under the right circumstances, Rice University scientists have discovered they do something ...

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 ...

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 ...

AMES, Iowa – Alex Travesset doesn’t have a shiny research lab filled with the latest instruments that probe new nanomaterials and measure their special properties. No, his theoretical work explaining ...

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 ...
