Scientists have developed a new class of chiral metal-organic frameworks (CMOFs) featuring exceptional stability, ultrahigh surface areas, and cost-effective synthesis. These materials show great ...

Chirality is common in molecules found in living organisms such as DNA and in inorganic systems, like snail shells. One way to produce a chiroptical response is to assemble small nano-sized units ...

This reaction is analogous to the enzymatic growth of amino acids with chiral structures in vivo, which leads to the synthesis of proteins with helical structures. As such, it holds promise as a ...

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

Terahertz light has the ability to control solids at the atomic level, forming chiral structures of left- and right-handedness. Credit: Zhiyang Zeng (MPSD), edited A new technique involving terahertz ...

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 ...

Cubic chiral magnets exhibit a remarkable diversity of two-dimensional topological magnetic textures, including skyrmions. However, the experimental confirmation of topological states localized in all ...

This review summarizes various topological states. First, the conventional topological chiral edge states, which are accomplished in periodic and aperiodic systems based on the MO effect, are ...
