(Nanowerk News) The role of electrons and their negative charge in electric current is well established. Electrons also exhibit other intrinsic properties that are associated, for example, with ...

By detecting subtle structural differences in volatile compounds, the sensors could power non-invasive breath tests for ...

A new mechanism steers diodes made of a single enantiomer to emit light of right- and left-handed polarizations ...

Researchers have proposed a highly efficient method for detecting molecular chirality using tailored laser fields. Chiral molecules are those that have two versions that are mirror images, like our ...

The study of chiral molecules – entities that exist in non-superimposable mirror images – has profound implications across a range of scientific disciplines, from synthetic chemistry to ...

Osaka researchers unlock spin-selective charge flow in organic solar cells, using mirror-image molecular designs that sharply ...

Organic solar cells are made from conductive polymers, which makes them cheap, light, and flexible. However, one drawback is ...

Metals like rhodium and palladium are C–H activation aces, but these metals are rare and expensive. For several years, chemists led by Lutz Ackermann at the Georg August University Göttingen have been ...

Chiral molecules, which have a helical structure, are known to interact with magnets in a phenomenon known as chirality-induced spin selectivity (CISS). For instance, when a chiral molecule is ...

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 ...
