When researchers irradiate a thin layer of nickel iodide with an ultrafast laser pulse, corkscrew-shaped features called “chiral helical magnetoelectric oscillations” arise. These features ...

Huang Wu and the late J. Fraser Stoddart of the University of Hong Kong along with Wenping Hu and Yu Wang of Tianjin University led the effort to make and characterize the snub cube supramolecules.

When exposed to ultraviolet light, unidirectional rotation and a change in the helical chirality of the molecular motor cause the macroscopic fingerprint texture of the sample (visible as a ...

considerable effort has been devoted to developing artificial helical organizations with defined handedness for wide potential applications, including memory, sensing devices, chiral stationary ...
