Chirality, or the property of a molecule having non-superimposable ... Additionally, the exploration of chiral cocrystallization and inorganic ionic cocrystallization has introduced novel ...

Scientists have developed a novel technique to transform symmetrical semiconductor particles into intricately twisted, spiral ...

"Moreover, the effect is vectorial," explained Wittmann. If the helix structure of a chiral molecule is directed upwards, this effect occurs only if the spin is more or less in the same direction ...

Sub-Group 2: Scalable, Helical Polymer Nanostructures for Templated Synthesis of Chiral Inorganic Nanoparticles. Helical polycarbodiimides offer a versatile macromolecular scaffold for construction of ...

The creation of chiral materials from semiconductors at Cornell opens new avenues for optical sensors and displays, enhancing ...

For the first time, they achieved asymmetric (chiral) living polymerization of optically active polyisocyanides using liquid crystals with a chiral (mirror-image isomer) structures as a solvents.

When a chiral molecule is added on top of the sensor, it produces differential reflection between a right circularly polarized light and a left circularly polarized light, which enables the ...
