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 ...

Mechanistically, the chemists think that in the presence of the enzyme, there’s a formal hydrogen atom abstraction that is ...

Chirality, a property where structures have a distinct left- or right-handedness, allows natural semiconductors to move charge and convert energy with high efficiency by controlling electron spin and ...

Like carbon and silicon, germanium’s lighter brethren on the periodic table, the metalloid can bond to four different groups, forming a chiral, tetrahedral molecule. Researchers at Nankai University ...

A research group at The University of Tokyo has discovered a new principle by which helical chiral molecules acquire spin through molecular vibrations, enabling them to adhere to magnets. Until now, ...

A small fungal enzyme could play a significant role in simplifying the development and manufacture of drugs, according to scientists. A small fungal enzyme could play a significant role in simplifying ...
