Researchers have discovered a method to induce chirality in non-chiral materials using terahertz light. This groundbreaking ...

The paper is called "Application of Photo-Induced Chirality in Covert Authentication" and explains how photo-induced chirality in Ge 2 Sb 2 Te 5 thin films can be exploited to improve authentication.

Researchers verified the chiral-induced spin selectivity effect, i.e., the influence of chiral molecules on spin, using spintronic analytical techniques ...

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 ...

Chirality is a fundamental property of matter that determines many biological, chemical and physical phenomena. Chiral solids, for example, offer exciting opportunities for catalysis, sensing and ...

Terahertz light has the ability to control solids at the atomic level, forming chiral structures of left- and right-handedness. Chirality refers to objects that cannot be superimposed to their ...

Chirality is a fundamental property of matter that determines many biological, chemical and physical phenomena. Chiral properties are however established when the material is grown, that is, the ...
