Left and right circularly polarized light, where the electromagnetic waves spiral in a clockwise and counterclockwise manner ...

TIANJIN -- Scientists have achieved a major breakthrough in the construction of dynamic supramolecular snub cubes, according ...

Both results make use of chirality — a structural design that does not show mirror symmetry. Some naturally occurring materials, such as milk or sugar solutions, have extremely weak chirality.

A team of physicists led by The City College of New York's Lia Krusin-Elbaum has developed a novel technique that uses ...

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 ...

Natural life is characterized by specific molecular chirality, with ribonucleic acid (RNA), deoxyribonucleic acid (DNA), and proteins being composed of specific enantiomers. Advances in synthetic ...

Scientists say they may have finally solved the mystery of "handedness" and why some people have a dominant left or right ...

Upon illumination with circularly polarized light, it was observed that the intensity of light scattered at the second harmonic (2f) depended on the chirality of the helices. Chiroptical Harmony’s ...

“Mirror bacteria” could evade people’s immune systems, they suggest, causing deadly infections. Such infections could also lead to a substantial proportion of plant and animal species being displaced, ...
