The control of artificial double-helical structures, which are essential for the development of high-order molecular systems, remains difficult. In a new study, researchers have developed novel double ...

In nature, the concept of chirality or "handedness" is fundamental to life itself, just as our left and right hands are mirror images that cannot be overlapped perfectly. Molecular handedness is ...

Simple encapsulation by terpene-based chiral capsules allows various non-chiral organic dyes to display chiroptical properties in water, without requiring elaborate chemical modifications, scientists ...

Two molecules that are mirror images, but that can’t be superimposed after any type of rotation, form a pair of enantiomers, each of which is said to be chiral. Our hands are examples of chiral ...

Standing at the intersection between mathematics and the tiler's trade is the so-called einstein problem. Despite its name, this mathematical question has nothing to do with the Nobel Prize winner ...

New molecular capsules capable of imparting chiral activity to non-chiral metal-containing dyes were successfully created by self-assembly in water, as reported by researchers from Japan. These ...

In the past several decades, significant progress has been made in controlling molecular chirality, as evidenced by the several Nobel Prizes in chemistry awarded in this area, particularly for ...

A research team led by Prof Zhang Guoqing from the University of Science and Technology of China (USTC) of the Chinese Academy of Sciences (CAS) have presented a novel molecular-solid sensor that ...

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 synthesized double-helical monometallofoldamers exhibiting controllable chirality switching can lead to the development of novel artificial supramolecular systems for molecular information ...
