Chirality, or "handedness," is a fundamental property of objects, from galaxies to molecules, and plays a crucial role in biological systems. However, chiral compounds in living organisms such as ...

In a surprising twist, researchers have identified crystals that are symmetrical but nevertheless absorb light as if they were chiral (Science 2025, DOI: 10.1126/science.adr5478). The discovery ...

Researchers have captured the first direct, momentum-resolved evidence that certain lattice vibrations carry measurable magnetic signatures, using neutron spectroscopy on a specially engineered ...

The chirality lies in the geometry Scanning electron microscopy (SEM) image of nickel-based artificial chiral magnets ...

The non-chiral kagome lattice (corner-sharing triangles) basis of the topological material KV3Sb5 is found to develop subtle electronic chirality near the surface which shows distinct electromagnetic ...

RIKEN physicists have discovered for the first time why the magnitude of the electron flow depends on direction in a special kind of magnet. This finding could help to realize future low-energy ...

Chiral materials interact with light in extremely precise ways, which can be used to create better displays, sensors, and more powerful gadgets. However, successfully creating features like the ...

Osaka, Japan－Researchers at The University of Osaka have discovered a new type of chiral symmetry breaking (CSB) in an organic crystalline compound. This phenomenon, involving a solid-state structural ...
