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 ...

We are often confronted with a facial expression that makes us feel uncomfortable or we sense there is something wrong. Most of us don’t go further than saying, “That just doesn’t seem right,” or, ...

Researchers demonstrate reversible electrical control of chirality in hybrid materials, imposing chirality on molybdenum disulfide to enable tunable states for spintronics and chiral iontronics.

In physics and materials science, the term "spin chirality" refers to an asymmetry in the arrangement of spins (i.e., the ...

A way to electrically modify the chirality of organic-inorganic hybrid materials, in which chiral molecules adsorb onto ...

Sometimes the difference between life-saving drug and deadly side effect is chirality. L-DOPA is the best drug we have for Parkinson’s disease. If you take L-DOPA and reflect it in a mirror, you get a ...

What sets CNTs apart is the concept of chirality. The production of CNTs can follow either a chirality-controlled or a non-chirality-controlled process, such as armchair, zigzag, or chiral. For ...

A printable organic polymer that assembles into chiral structures when printed has enabled researchers to reliably measure the amount of charge produced in spin-to-charge conversion within a ...

The recognition of chirality in bioactive molecules is as old as modern organic chemistry itself. Pioneering work by Jean-Baptiste Biot, Louis Pasteur, Emil Fischer, and J. vant Hoff established ...
