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 vortex-like structures ...

Recent studies have focused on various methods for separating these chiral compounds, including achiral chromatography, capillary electrophoresis, and nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) spectroscopy.

Historically, exciton-coupled chiral materials were made from organic, carbon-based molecules. Creating them from inorganic semiconductors ... More information: Thomas J. Ugras et al, Transforming ...
