Chiral nanostructures are nanoscale materials whose three-dimensional architectures lack mirror symmetry, endowing them with distinct left- or right-handed geometries. When exposed to polarised light, ...

Raman optical activity, long thought to require chiral molecules or magnetic order, has been demonstrated in an achiral, ...

Chiral metamaterials are artificially structured composites that lack mirror symmetry and thus interact differently with left- and right-handed circular polarisation of light, yielding optical ...

In recent years, van der Waals crystals have evolved from scientific curiosities into a versatile platform for exploring novel quantum phases and unconventional nanophotonic phenomena. Their layered ...

(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 ...

Weyl semimetals, a class of quantum materials defined by their unique band structure, host emergent chiral Weyl fermions that exhibit distinct physical properties. These materials hold great potential ...

Simple encapsulation by terpene-based chiral capsules allows various non-chiral organic dyes to display chiroptical properties in water, without requiring elaborate chemical modifications, scientists ...

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 ...
