Chirality in materials and light is of abiding interest across a broad range of scientific
disciplines. This article discusses present and emerging issues in relation to molecular and …

Conspectus Chirality has been relevant to numerous core scientific topics over the past
century. Recently, the value of chirality in artificial functional materials has been recognized …

The chirality of an object can be studied by measuring the circular dichroism, that is, the
difference in absorption of light with different helicity. The chiral optical response of an …

Chirality, a property of broken mirror symmetry, prevails in nature. Chiral molecules show
different biochemical behaviors to their mirror molecules. For left or right circularly polarized …

Chirality is fundamental to chemistry, molecular biology and photonics, but chirality itself is
not often in the spotlight. Lewis E. MacKenzie and Patrycja Stachelek report on the 2021 …

Chirality is a fascinating geometrical property: We have two objects that look similar,
because they are mirror images of each other, but when we try to superpose them, we …

The dissymmetric interaction between circularly polarised (CP) light and chiral molecules is
central to a range of areas, from spectroscopy and imaging to next-generation photonic …

Chirality arises universally across many different fields. Recent advancements in artificial
nanomaterials have demonstrated chiroptical responses that far exceed those found in …

Chirality refers to the absence of a mirror image related symmetry in objects, materials and
molecules. As a consequence of the absence of these symmetry elements, chiral materials …

Throughout the 19th and 20th century, chirality has mostly been associated with chemistry.
However, while chirality can be very useful for understanding molecules, molecules are not …
