New research describes how the modulation of the geometry of a helical reactor at a macroscopic level enables controlling the sign of chirality of a process at a nanometric scale, an unprecedented ...

Light near the surface of ultra-thin optical fibers allows sorting of chiral nanoparticles based on their handedness.

BIC architectures typically face a fundamental trade-off between high quality (Q) factors and wide-angle chiral operation.

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 ...

Researchers have achieved a significant breakthrough in the synthesis of carbon nanotubes (CNTs) by developing a novel catalyst that allows for precise control over their atomic arrangement, known as ...

This module has been designed to introduce second-year organic chemistry students to the concepts of stereochemistry through the lens of the World Health Organization’s Model List of Essential ...

In the past several decades, significant progress has been made in controlling molecular chirality, as evidenced by the several Nobel Prizes in chemistry awarded in this area, particularly for ...

In our high school chemistry classes we all learn about chirality, the property of organic molecules in which two chemically identical molecules can have different structures that are mirror images of ...

The recognition of chirality in bioactive molecules is as old as modern organic chemistry itself. Pioneering work by Jean-Baptiste Biot, Louis Pasteur, Emil Fischer, and J. vant Hoff established ...
