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 ...

Two molecules that are mirror images, but that can’t be superimposed after any type of rotation, form a pair of enantiomers, each of which is said to be chiral. Our hands are examples of chiral ...

(Nanowerk News) Physicists in Konstanz (Germany) have discovered a way to imprint a previously unseen geometrical form of chirality onto electrons. The electrons are shaped into chiral coils of mass ...

A voltage-driven method enables reversible, tunable chiral states in semiconductor materials. (Nanowerk News) A way to electrically modify the chirality of organic–inorganic hybrid materials, in which ...

Meta-atoms at varying orientations on a chiral metasurface. 2025 EPFL Bionanophotonic Systems Lab CC BY SA 4.0 Imagine trying to wear a left-handed glove on your right hand: it doesn’t fit because ...

The direction in which spin information is injected into chiral materials affects its ability to pass through them. These chiral 'gateways' could be used to design energy-efficient spintronic devices ...

(a) Electric field of LCP and superchiral light. (b) (Left) Schematic illustrating the generation of superchiral fields by focusing twisted RP beams. (Right) Theoretical model used to calculate the ...

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 ...
