Increasing the size of the magnetic field (red horizontal arrows) applied to rod-like viruses during self-assembly produces ...

A breakthrough new OLED technology could mean smartwatches with longer battery life, more energy-efficient TVs, and even ...

A major breakthrough in organic semiconductors has been achieved, potentially transforming display technology and even future ...

This occurs due to the specific arrangement of atoms within the molecular structure. Chirality is important in fields like organic chemistry because different chiral forms, or ‘enantiomers ...

Many biopolymers such as DNA form helices, which are inherently chiral structures, while compounds such as amino acids form complex 3D shapes that also can have left and right forms. Researchers now ...

A team of Dutch and U.K. researchers have made an exciting discovery that could dramatically improve polarisation in OLED TVs ...

Terahertz light has the ability to control solids at the atomic level, forming chiral structures of left- and right-handedness. Disclaimer: AAAS and EurekAlert! are not responsible for the ...

A new study led by researchers at the Earth-Life Science Institute (ELSI) at the Institute of Science, Tokyo, has uncovered a ...

The research team, led by Andrea Cavalleri of the Max-Planck-Institut for the Structure and Dynamics of Matter, used terahertz light to lift this balance in the non-chiral material boron phosphate ...

The 'handedness' of this self-organized structure derives from the chirality of its molecular constituents. The structure freely transmits light with a circular polarization that is opposite to ...

The researchers, led by the University of Cambridge and the Eindhoven University of Technology, have created an organic semiconductor that forces ...

Both resulted in a clear improvement in efficiency and stability of the OSC, but the chiral—or helical—structure yielded the best results. "We discovered that chiral assembly of conjugated ...
