In nature, molecules often show a strong preference for partnering with other molecules that share the same chirality or handedness. A behavior that is quite evident in the phenomenon known as ...

In a new study, an international group of researchers has found that chiral phonons can create orbital current without needing magnetic elements—in part because chiral phonons have their own magnetic ...

The study demonstrates that applying a gate voltage drives chiral cations from an ionic liquid to the surface of achiral MoS 2, creating a controllable chiral electronic state without permanently ...

A voltage-driven method enables reversible, tunable chiral states in semiconductor materials. (Nanowerk News) A way to electrically modify the chirality of organic–inorganic hybrid materials, in which ...

For the first time, scientists at ETH Zurich have utilized extremely brief, rotating bursts of light to analyze and modify electron movements in mirror-image molecules. They demonstrated that the ...

Chiral gold nanostars show how molecular asymmetry transfers to high-symmetry nanoparticles, producing structures with distinctive optical behavior and enhanced molecular detection. (Nanowerk ...

Superconductors are materials that, below a certain critical temperature, exhibit zero electrical resistance and completely expel magnetic fields, a phenomenon known as the Meissner effect. They can ...
