Researchers at Los Alamos National Laboratory in New Mexico, US have used visible light to both image and manipulate the domains of a chiral antiferromagnet (AFM). By “painting” complex patterns onto ...

Chirality—often described as "handedness"—is a fundamental property of nature, underlying the behavior of molecules ranging from DNA to pharmaceuticals. While chemists have long known how to separate ...

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 ...

Modeling and implications for organ development This finding implies that the cell nucleus can rotate even when there is no chiral orientation of the cytoskeleton on a cellular level. To confirm ...

A voltage-driven method enables reversible, tunable chiral states in semiconductor materials. (Nanowerk News) A way to electrically modify the chirality of organic–inorganic hybrid materials, in which ...

Article subjects are automatically applied from the ACS Subject Taxonomy and describe the scientific concepts and themes of the article. This mini review investigates how chirality can be harnessed to ...

In many a school auditorium, a theater kid could be spotted sitting cross-legged with a peanut butter and jelly sandwich, surrounded by peers who had just belted their way through the entire Hamilton ...

Article subjects are automatically applied from the ACS Subject Taxonomy and describe the scientific concepts and themes of the article. Chirality, defined as the geometric property of an object being ...

For the first time, scientists at ETH Zurich have utilized extremely brief, rotating bursts of light to analyze and modify electron movements in mirror-image molecules. They demonstrated that the ...

In a first that could change how scientists study the building blocks of life, ETH Zurich researchers have shown that molecular ‘handedness’ is not just structural but also electronic. By using ...
