It was believed that it was impossible to differentiate the enantiomers of a chiral molecule using helical light beams - until now that is, thanks to a group of uOttawa researchers. For nearly 20 ...

Some molecules can exist in two mirror-image forms, similar to our hands. Although such so-called enantiomers have almost identical physical properties, they are not the same. The fact that they ...

The UCF-developed plasmonic technology, shown here, significantly improves the detection of the chirality of molecules, meeting a crucial demand in the field of medical and pharmaceutical research.

The generation of excess electron spin in semiconductors can provide extra information for logic operations, and is essential to many spin-based technologies. But it’s difficult to inject spin from ...
