(a) Schematics of nonreciprocal transports by fluctuating Cooper pairs. (b) Observed amplitude of nonreciprocity in the chiral organic superconductor in comparison with polar inorganic superconductors ...

In nature, there exist structures that are mirror images of each other but cannot be perfectly superimposed. These are known ...

A team of chemists has made significant strides in the field of mechanically interlocked molecules (MIMs). Their work showcases the development of a compact catenane with tuneable mechanical chirality ...

Chemists have synthesized the first stable molecule whose chirality is solely attributed to a stereogenic oxygen, according to a new study (Nature 2023, DOI: 10.1038/s41586-023-05719-z). Though carbon ...

The idea that you can take two different radicals and get them to react with one another without losing stereochemistry, ...

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 ...

A team of scientists has created a chiral assembly by blending inorganic polyoxometalates and organic cyclodextrin molecules. Polyoxometalates are a class of nanomaterials with many useful ...

In this study, chiral gold nanoparticles with a concave vortex cube structure were employed as the chiral substrate, exhibiting highly tunable optical chirality and intriguing chiral-induced spin ...

Chemists at UC Davis are using catalysts (shown in gray spheres) to make organic compounds (blue sticks) with a specific chirality, or “handedness.” Most biological molecules are chiral, including ...

Recent studies have revealed that electrons passing through chiral molecules exhibit significant spin polarization—a phenomenon known as chirality-induced spin selectivity. This effect stems from a ...
