Tokyo, Japan – Researchers from Tokyo Metropolitan University have created a new superconductor with a chiral crystalline structure by mixing two materials, one with superconductivity but no chirality ...

Chirality is a fundamental property of matter that determines many biological, chemical and physical phenomena. Chiral solids, for example, offer exciting opportunities for catalysis, sensing and ...

(Nanowerk Spotlight) Scientists from the College of Chemistry and Molecular Sciences at Wuhan University reported a novel class of chiral materials called bichiral nanoparticles that can easily tune ...

A new type of OLED can generate left- or right-handed circularly polarized light from just one form of light-emitting ...

These results help fill in a critical link in the chain from molecules to organs and bodies, the researchers say. "Our findings provide new insights into how molecular chirality gives rise to cellular ...

Doubly stapled α-helix consisting only of achiral amino acids. Its one-handed form can be isolated because the interconversion between the right- and left-handed forms is almost completely suppressed.

Chemists have discovered that pointy gold tetrahedrons self-assemble into 2D chiral superlattices. The structures could be useful metamaterials. Tetrahedron-shaped nanoparticles are interesting enough ...

Halogen bonds were first proposed as an activating interaction in 2008, but this alternative type of organocatalysis was ...

A way to electrically modify the chirality of organic–inorganic hybrid materials, in which chiral molecules adsorb onto inorganic surfaces, has been demonstrated by researchers at Science Tokyo. By ...

A project led by Spain's ICFO photonics research center has developed an ultrafast technique for the imaging of molecular chirality with extremely high temporal resolution. The dynamics of chiral ...
