Chiral Au nanorod and its helicity map that shows which regions are right-handed helical (red) and left-handed helical (blue), as indicated by the helices. (Image: CICBiomaGUNE Chiral templates, such ...

These polymers can exhibit unique properties due to their helical shapes, which can influence their interactions and functionalities. Chiral polymerization, the process of creating polymers with a ...

As actin itself is a chiral molecule—it forms a right-handed helix—Bershadsky, Levin, and others have speculated that its molecular structure could be central to the establishment of cellular ...

When exposed to ultraviolet light, unidirectional rotation and a change in the helical chirality of the molecular motor cause the macroscopic fingerprint texture of the sample (visible as a ...

Sub-Group 2: Scalable, Helical Polymer Nanostructures for Templated Synthesis of Chiral Inorganic Nanoparticles. Helical polycarbodiimides offer a versatile macromolecular scaffold for construction of ...

Dec. 1, 2022 — It was believed that it was impossible to differentiate the enantiomers of a chiral molecule using helical light beams -- until now that is. Researchers have now developed a new ...

Example of the control of the central chirality in a product via catalytic asymmetric α-arylation (blue) and the helical chirality of helicene (a molecule with helically linked aromatic rings ...

"We realized that by carefully controlling the film's drying geometry, we could control its structure and its chirality. We saw this as an opportunity to bring a property usually found in organic ...

As a solution, the U-M research team developed a method that uses helical light beams to produce nanoscale helices with specific handedness and pitch. "Centimeter-scale chiral plasmonic surfaces ...

For example, in helical ferromagnets, skyrmions adopt a chiral spin structure with a swirling configuration. These structures are topologically protected, meaning their topological properties ...
