Chirality with all broken mirror symmetries matters ubiquitously from DNA functionality, vine climbing, to the piezoelectricity of quartz crystals. Magnetic chirality means chirality in spin-ordered ...

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 ...

Organic luminogens have received tremendous attention due to revived interest in long-lived room-temperature phosphorescence (RTP) in the recent decade. New RTP-based applications, including ...

Chemists have synthesized the first stable molecule whose chirality is solely attributed to a stereogenic oxygen, according to a new study (Nature 2023, DOI: 10.1038/s41586-023-05719-z). Though carbon ...
