Helical polymers constitute a class of macromolecules that adopt a spiral conformation, a feature that endows them with unique optical, mechanical, and catalytic properties. These materials have ...

Chirality, a property where structures have a distinct left- or right-handedness, allows natural semiconductors to move charge and convert energy with high efficiency by controlling electron spin and ...

Osaka, Japan – Despite their identical composition, molecules that are mirror images can interact differently with light and electrical current depending on their “handedness”, which is called ...

The research team from Zhengzhou university has developed a scalable, environmentally friendly method to produce chiral ...

Attaching amino acids to a hydrophobic organic molecule allows them to self-assemble into rare, knotted structures with ...

Polyisocyanides are polymers distinguished by their helical structures, where the helix's winding direction (right- or left-handed) can be controlled through catalysts designed for synthesizing chiral ...

The research team from Zhengzhou university has developed a scalable, environmentally friendly method to produce chiral perovskite nanocrystal/ethyl ...
