A way to electrically modify the chirality of organic–inorganic hybrid materials, in which chiral molecules adsorb onto inorganic surfaces, has been demonstrated by researchers at Science Tokyo. By ...

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 ...

A team of chemists has made significant strides in the field of mechanically interlocked molecules (MIMs). Their work showcases the development of a compact catenane with tuneable mechanical chirality ...

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 ...

In a pair of groundbreaking papers submitted to Physical Review Letters, independent researcher and IDrive Inc. CEO Raghu Kulkarni has proposed a unified geometric solution to two of the ...

Structural chirality refers to the geometric property of objects that are not superimposable on their mirror images, a concept that is central to organic chemistry. In contrast, topological chirality ...
