Polarized light waves spin clockwise or counterclockwise as they travel, with one direction behaving differently than the other as it interacts with molecules. This directionality, called chirality or ...

Evolution of supramolecular chirality from self-assembly of achiral compounds and control over its handedness is closely related to the evolution of life and development of supramolecular materials ...

An international team of researchers led by Lancaster University has discovered a highly efficient mechanism for shaking ...

Led by researchers at Lancaster University, the international team showed that subtle electronic effects can greatly amplify ...

Researchers fabricated an optical element that uses a forest of tiny, antenna-like nanorods, seen here, that together create a metamaterial able to control the spin of light. The metamaterial nanorods ...
