Chemists have discovered that pointy gold tetrahedrons self-assemble into 2D chiral superlattices. The structures could be useful metamaterials. Tetrahedron-shaped nanoparticles are interesting enough ...

Artificially-engineered chiral materials with exceptional light-manipulating capabilities show significantly-enhanced chiroptical response and capability of light manipulation, which have emerged as a ...

This review examines the role of twisted light in chiral systems, highlighting its applications in spectroscopy and materials ...

Chirality can be true or false, depending on the symmetry of dynamic propagation. Crystal lattice vibrations, called phonons, can also display chirality as has been shown in some two-dimensional ...

The phenomenon where electron spins align in a specific direction after passing through chiral materials is a cornerstone for ...

HOUSTON – (July 25, 2022) – Tetrahedron-shaped nanoparticles are interesting enough by themselves, but under the right circumstances, Rice University scientists have discovered they do something ...

While doing a routine check on a batch of tiny gold tetrahedrons, Rice chemist Matthew Jones and graduate student Zhihua Cheng found their microscopic particles had the unanticipated ability to ...
