A terahertz platform built on an achiral gradient metasurface resolves the components, handedness, and mixing ratios of ...

Researchers verified the chiral-induced spin selectivity effect, i.e., the influence of chiral molecules on spin, using spintronic analytical techniques. Researchers at Mainz University verified the ...

The study of chiral molecules – entities that exist in non-superimposable mirror images – has profound implications across a range of scientific disciplines, from synthetic chemistry to ...

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, ...

Research into chiral molecules has long been driven by the quest to understand the subtle differences between enantiomers—molecules that are mirror images yet non-superimposable. Recent advances in ...

Can you imagine a life-saving molecule whose “twin” is a deadly poison? As surprising as it may seem, this chemical reality is known as “chirality”. Like a right hand and a left hand, two molecules ...

Chiral molecules are common in medicines because chirality is common in nature, from spiraling vines and shells to amino acids and various proteins, to the human body's protein receptors, the site of ...

Chirality -- a geometric property that allows molecules to exist in two distinct forms that are chemically identical but are 3D mirror images of each other, like a right and left hand -- has a ...

A team of Japanese researchers has discovered a new technique to tweak molecular orientation that could dramatically improve energy transfer when absorbing light. While in its infancy, this discovery ...

Protons play a central role in energy production within cells. A team of researchers has discovered that their movement is influenced by electron spin, a quantum property. This interaction occurs in ...

(Nanowerk News) The role of electrons and their negative charge in electric current is well established. Electrons also exhibit other intrinsic properties that are associated, for example, with ...
