Chirality, the property of asymmetry wherein structures exist as non-superimposable mirror images, plays a central role in supramolecular chemistry. The self‐assembly of molecules into larger, ...

The synthesized double-helical monometallofoldamers exhibiting controllable chirality switching can lead to the development of novel artificial supramolecular systems for molecular information ...

The chirality lies in the geometry Scanning electron microscopy (SEM) image of nickel-based artificial chiral magnets ...

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 ...

Whether or not an object is indistinguishable from its mirror image has important consequences for its physical behavior. Say you watch a basketball player in a mirror. The ball, the player and their ...

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 ...

Researchers at the Harvard John A. Paulson School of Engineering and Applied Sciences (SEAS) have created a chip-scale device ...

The original version of this story appeared in Quanta Magazine. In 1848, when Louis Pasteur was a young chemist still years away from discovering how to sterilize milk, he discovered something ...

Researchers have captured the first direct, momentum-resolved evidence that certain lattice vibrations carry measurable magnetic signatures, using neutron spectroscopy on a specially engineered ...

Engineers created a MEMS-tunable twisted bilayer photonic crystal chip that dynamically adjusts twist angle and spacing to ...
