An extensive computational study by researchers from Finland's University of Jyväskylä predicts that gold nanoclusters could selectively recognize chiral biomolecules. This property may help in ...

RIKEN physicists have discovered for the first time why the magnitude of the electron flow depends on direction in a special kind of magnet. This finding could help to realize future low-energy ...

A research effort has made advances that could enable a broader range of currently unimagined optoelectronic devices. A research effort led by scientists at the U.S. Department of Energy's (DOE's) ...

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

Researchers have developed what amounts to a programmable platform for quantum chirality that could provide new approaches to explore interacting electrons in chiral systems. (Nanowerk News) A new ...

The non-chiral kagome lattice (corner-sharing triangles) basis of the topological material KV3Sb5 is found to develop subtle electronic chirality near the surface which shows distinct electromagnetic ...

Researchers have captured the first direct, momentum-resolved evidence that certain lattice vibrations carry measurable ...
