What sets CNTs apart is the concept of chirality. The production of CNTs can follow either a chirality-controlled or a non-chirality-controlled process, such as armchair, zigzag, or chiral. For ...

If we compare the right to the left hand, we can see these are specular images —that is, like symmetrical shapes reflected in a mirror— and they cannot superimpose on each other. This property is ...

Structural chirality refers to the geometric property of objects that are not superimposable on their mirror images, a concept that is central to organic chemistry. In contrast, topological chirality ...

Why is the heart slightly on the left side of the body for most people? Why is DNA almost always a right-handed helix? Same with alpha helices, the building blocks of proteins. Chirality, or ...

A project led by Spain's ICFO photonics research center has developed an ultrafast technique for the imaging of molecular chirality with extremely high temporal resolution. The dynamics of chiral ...

Researchers have achieved a significant breakthrough in the synthesis of carbon nanotubes, also known as the 'king of nanomaterials.' Researchers have achieved a significant breakthrough in the ...

In our high school chemistry classes we all learn about chirality, the property of organic molecules in which two chemically identical molecules can have different structures that are mirror images of ...

Chirality is a fundamental property of matter that determines many biological, chemical and physical phenomena. Chiral solids, for example, offer exciting opportunities for catalysis, sensing and ...
