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 ...

This article covers how circular dichroism microspectroscopy reveals chiral properties in advanced metamaterials.

Chirality is a fundamental property of asymmetry in nature, where an object or molecule cannot be superimposed onto its mirror image. In the context of nanotechnology, chirality refers to the ...

Chirality and natural products are two pivotal concepts within the domains of chemistry and biology. Chirality is a molecular property that renders it non-superimposable on its mirror image, while ...

Chiral molecules - compounds that are mirror images of each other - play an important role in biological processes and in chemical synthesis. Chemists have now succeeded for the first time in using ...

In our high school chemistry classes we all learn about chirality, the property of organic molecules in which two chemically identical molecules can have different structures that are mirror images of ...

A new, real-time technique to measure the changes in chirality of biomolecules in the deep ultraviolet part of the electromagnetic spectrum could be important for improved drug development and ...

(Nanowerk News) Researchers at AIST have developed a method for separating and collecting semiconducting single-wall carbon nanotube (SWCNT) species with different carbon atom arrangements by simply ...

Like a giraffe stretching for leaves on a tall tree, making carbon nanotubes reach for food as they grow may lead to a long-sought breakthrough. (Courtesy: Ksenia Bets/Rice University) Theoretical ...

Hold out your hands, palms up, and move them so they are on top of each other. With a little experimentation—and perhaps a few rather flamboyant gestures—you'll find that no matter what you do, your ...
