Chirality, a property where structures have a distinct left- or right-handedness, allows natural semiconductors to move charge and convert energy with high efficiency by controlling electron spin and ...

Researchers at The University of Osaka have discovered a new type of chiral symmetry breaking (CSB) in an organic crystalline compound. This phenomenon, involving a solid-state structural transition ...

A new method of distinguishing chiral molecules could eventually detect distortions inside quantum and soft materials, find abnormal protein aggregates linked to disease, and more. (Nanowerk News) ...
