Chiral optical materials have attracted great attention in multiple disciplines due to their wide application value in fields such as remote sensing, three-dimensional display, information ...

Catenanes are organic compounds with ring-like molecules that are mechanically interlocked. The mechanical locking system in such molecules is so robust that they can only be disentangled via covalent ...

The study demonstrates that applying a gate voltage drives chiral cations from an ionic liquid to the surface of achiral MoS 2, creating a controllable chiral electronic state without permanently ...

The control of artificial double-helical structures, which are essential for the development of high-order molecular systems, remains difficult. In a new study, researchers have developed novel double ...

Researchers have made a discovery that changes what we know about light and materials. They found that engineered achiral (symmetric) materials, called achiral plasmonic metasurfaces, can absorb light ...

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 ...

Researchers used circularly polarized Raman spectroscopy to study how light scatters from a centrosymmetric nickel titanium oxide (NiTiO 3) crystal. By comparing the intensity of scattered left- and ...
