A terahertz platform built on an achiral gradient metasurface resolves the components, handedness, and mixing ratios of ...
(Nanowerk News) A research team has discovered that achiral hard banana-shaped particles can spontaneously form exotic structures like skyrmions and blue phase III phases. Skyrmions are tiny ...
Asymmetric hydrogenation may be the current gold standard in asymmetric catalysis, but it could face competition from a new family of diphosphine ligands for hydroformylation. Collaborators from the ...
Circularly polarized light (CPL) plays an important role in various contemporary applications such as chiral molecule distinguishing, remote sensing, quantum optics, and spintronics. Traditional ...
Whether or not an object is indistinguishable from its mirror image has important consequences for its physical behavior. Say you watch a basketball player in a mirror. The ball, the player and their ...
The addition of methanol to dilute THF solutions of chiral-achiral random copolymers of fluorene derivatives and the chiral homopolymer showed thermo-reversible circular dichroism (CD) induction in ...
Chirality—often described as "handedness"—is a fundamental property of nature, underlying the behavior of molecules ranging from DNA to pharmaceuticals. While chemists have long known how to separate ...
Researchers at the University of Ottawa have found that engineered achiral (symmetric) materials, called achiral plasmonic metasurfaces, can absorb light differently depending on the handedness of the ...
How the molecules of life came to adopt a particular handedness is an enduring mystery—one that chemists may never completely solve. Nicholas V. Hud and coworkers at the Georgia Institute of ...
