Researchers from the University of Cambridge and the Eindhoven University of Technology have developed an organic ...

Both results make use of chirality — a structural design that does not show mirror symmetry. Some naturally occurring materials, such as milk or sugar solutions, have extremely weak chirality.

Semiconductors are the cornerstone of modern technology, used in everything from mobile phones and computers to space crafts ...

For Wan, now at Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute in New York, the work was an introduction to an odd quirk of animal biology: cell chirality, a little-understood phenomenon that a handful of ...

Ernst and Voigt are interested in so-called chirality, the "handedness" that characterizes many organic molecules. Although chiral structures are chemically identical, they cannot be rotated into ...

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 ...

Recently, a research team found a way to design a class of homochiral organometallic nanosheets that exhibit room-temperature ...

Researchers at the University of Turku, Finland, have succeeded in producing sensors from single-wall carbon nanotubes that ...

In a new study, researchers produced nanomaterials that could be used in developing more accurate sensors for healthcare in ...

A twist you'll never see coming: a breakthrough in understanding the relationship between chirality and electric flow at a microscopic level may help us develop chiral information technology.
