Scientists have developed two new methods to create ordered carbon nanotube films with either a left- or right-handed chiral pattern. Chiral materials interact with light in very precise ways that are ...

Like carbon and silicon, germanium’s lighter brethren on the periodic table, the metalloid can bond to four different groups, forming a chiral, tetrahedral molecule. Researchers at Nankai University ...

Chiral materials interact with light in extremely precise ways, which can be used to create better displays, sensors, and more powerful gadgets. However, successfully creating features like the ...

Researchers at The University of Osaka have discovered a new type of chiral symmetry breaking (CSB) in an organic crystalline compound. This phenomenon, involving a solid-state structural transition ...

Engineers have developed a multifunctional, reconfigurable component for an optical computing system that could be a game changer in electronics. As fast as modern electronics have become, they could ...
