Chiral phonons are groups of atoms that move in a circular direction when excited by an energy source, such as heat. As the ...

Researchers have discovered that mechanical strain also induces chirality in non-chiral crystals, opening a new direction to ...

Mechanical strain is one of the most common tools used to tailor the properties of materials. In piezoelectric materials, stretching or compressing a crystal generates an electrical polarization. In ...

NoPo Nanotechnologies says India's deep-tech ambitions depend on building advanced materials manufacturing alongside ...

This year, scientists included a new potential threat in their decision to move the Doomsday Clock closer to midnight. So what is 'mirror life' and why are they concerned?

Chemists have demonstrated that neutral chalcogen-bond donors can induce asymmetry in chemical reactions, addressing a challenge that has limited the development of chalcogen-bonding catalysis.

The transformation is a riff on the Appel reaction, which turns alcohols into alkyl halides but until now had been incapable ...

Researchers from the Institute of Industrial Science, The University of Tokyo experimentally demonstrate unique optical behavior from a long-sought aperiodic pattern Credit Institute of Industrial ...

A surprise cyclisation offers a generalised route to heavily substituted tetrahydrofuran (THF) units. The stereoselective reaction combines simple building blocks to construct the densely ...
