Scientists have developed two new methods to create ordered carbon nanotube films with either a left- or right-handed chiral pattern. Chiral materials interact with light in very precise ways that are ...

Chiral materials interact with light in extremely precise ways, which can be used to create better displays, sensors, and more powerful gadgets. However, successfully creating features like the ...

Using a Kelvin probe force microscope, scientists visualized how chiral perovskites regulate electron spin, offering new insights that could guide the design of next-generation spintronic devices.

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 ...

Chemists from the University of Groningen have found a simple way to produce previously inaccessible chiral Z-alkenes, molecules that offer a significant synthetic short-cut for the production of ...

While humans have an esthetic liking for symmetry in everything, nature prefers asymmetric, single-handed forms when it comes to amino acids—the building blocks of proteins, and, by extension, all ...

Pharmaceutical intermediates continue to represent the largest share of the market, accounting for 57% of global demand in 2025. Chiral amino alcohols play a crucial role in drug synthesis, enabling ...
