Scientists have made a significant leap forward in the field of chiral molecules. The team achieved near-complete separation in quantum states for these essential components of life. This discovery ...

Researchers at the University of St Andrews have uncovered a long‑elusive molecular "reshuffle," a breakthrough that tackles ...

A new type of OLED can generate left- or right-handed circularly polarized light from just one form of light-emitting ...

In nature, the concept of chirality or "handedness" is fundamental to life itself, just as our left and right hands are mirror images that cannot be overlapped perfectly. Molecular handedness is ...

Chiral gold nanostars show how molecular asymmetry transfers to high-symmetry nanoparticles, producing structures with distinctive optical behavior and enhanced molecular detection. (Nanowerk ...

Researchers verified the chiral-induced spin selectivity effect, i.e., the influence of chiral molecules on spin, using spintronic analytical techniques. Researchers at Mainz University verified the ...

Halogen bonds were first proposed as an activating interaction in 2008, but this alternative type of organocatalysis was ...

This discovery challenges previous assumptions about the practical limits of quantum state control of chiral molecules and paves the way for new research directions in molecular physics and beyond.

(Nanowerk News) The role of electrons and their negative charge in electric current is well established. Electrons also exhibit other intrinsic properties that are associated, for example, with ...
