Just when scientists thought they knew everything about crystals, a Northwestern University and University of Wisconsin-Madison collaboration has ...

From living matter to molecules to elementary particles, the world is made of “chiral” objects that differ from their reflected forms. After her adventures in Wonderland, the fictional Alice stepped ...

This means that a chiral object looks different from its mirror image; just like you couldn’t swap your left and your right hand, chiral objects (from molecules to snail shells and more ...

Inside the secretive meeting, cardinals will use an array of objects, many steeped in tradition, as they elect the next pope. By Jonathan Wolfe The conclave to elect the next pope is now underway ...

We consider the inverse electromagnetic scattering problem of determining the shape of a perfectly conducting core inside a penetrable chiral body. We prove the well-posedness of the corresponding ...

Chiral objects play a crucial role in nature and technology. In the realm of elementary particles, one of the most important chiral phenomena is spin, which is often compared to a self-rotation of a ...

Chiral objects are crucial in nature and technology. For elementary particles, spin is a common chiral phenomenon. Spin, a purely quantum-mechanical property, gives rise to many significant ...

Chirality of single particles and composites Chiral objects play a crucial role in nature and technology. In the realm of elementary particles, one of the most important chiral phenomena is spin ...

“We are currently investigating the effect of ‘chiral induced spin selectivity’ (CISS), which establishes a link between electronic spin and chirality.” Chirality is an asymmetrical property held by ...

A chiral pattern that signifies the authenticity of an object or document would be invisible to the naked eye but visible when seen through polarized lenses. Other applications of the findings are ...
