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, ...

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 ...

Matter behaves differently at various scales. At the microscopic, the behavior of molecules and their atomic constituents can shift drastically simply because the scale is so small that any change is ...

Chiral-structural-color materials produce color through microscopic structures that interact with light rather than through ...
