These results help fill in a critical link in the chain from molecules to organs and bodies, the researchers say. "Our findings provide new insights into how molecular chirality gives rise to cellular ...

A way to electrically modify the chirality of organic–inorganic hybrid materials, in which chiral molecules adsorb onto ...

A team of chemists has made significant strides in the field of mechanically interlocked molecules (MIMs). Their work showcases the development of a compact catenane with tuneable mechanical chirality ...

Meta-atoms at varying orientations on a chiral metasurface. 2025 EPFL Bionanophotonic Systems Lab CC BY SA 4.0 Imagine trying to wear a left-handed glove on your right hand: it doesn’t fit because ...

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 ...

Structural chirality refers to the geometric property of objects that are not superimposable on their mirror images, a concept that is central to organic chemistry. In contrast, topological chirality ...
