Buckling of chiral elastic rings spanned by fluid films
Vietnam Journal of Mechanics, 2022 We use variational method to examine buckling of chiral elastic rings spanned by fluid films. We find that the critical surface tension of the fluid film at which buckling occurs depends on the degree of chirality, regardless whether the ring possesses ...

Cell Chirality Drives Left-Right Asymmetric Morphogenesis
Frontiers in Cell and Developmental Biology, 2018 Most macromolecules found in cells are chiral, meaning that they cannot be superimposed onto their mirror image. However, cells themselves can also be chiral, a subject that has received little attention until very recently.

Evolution of helicity in NOAA 10923 over three consecutive solar rotations
, 2008 We have studied the evolution of magnetic helicity and chirality in an active region over three consecutive solar rotations. The region when it first appeared was named NOAA10923 and in subsequent rotations it was numbered NOAA 10930, 10935 and 10941. We

TrAC Trends in Analytical Chemistry, 2019 Chirality has a crucial effect on clinical, chemical and biological research since most bioactive substances possess chirality in the natural world. Thus, new effective methods and/or (nano)materials are required to explain chiral recognition of chiral substances, which always become a hot topic in pharmaceutical and chemo/biological study.

Microstructure Effects for Casimir Forces in Chiral Metamaterials
, 2010 We examine a recent prediction for the chirality-dependence of the Casimir force in chiral metamaterials by numerical computation of the forces between the exact microstructures, rather than homogeneous approximations.

Alternative Kullback-Leibler information entropy for enantiomers [PDF]
, 2010 In our series of studies on quantifying chirality, a new chirality measure is proposed in this work based on the Kullback-Leibler information entropy.

Advanced Materials, 2020 AbstractThe study of different chiral inorganic nanomaterials has been experiencing rapid growth during the past decade, with its primary focus on metals and semiconductors. Ceramic materials can substantially expand the range of mechanical, optical, chemical, electrical, magnetic, and biological properties of chiral nanostructures, further stimulating

Journal of High Energy Physics, 2009 We study the linearized approximation of N=1 topologically massive supergravity around AdS3. Linearized gravitino fields are explicitly constructed. For appropriate boundary conditions, the conserved charges demonstrate chiral behavior, so that chiral gravity can be consistently extended to chiral supergravity.

Spiral Galaxies as Enantiomers: Chirality, an Underlying Feature in Chemistry and Astrophysics
, 2005 Spiral galaxies are axi-symmetric objects showing 2D-chirality when projected onto a plane. Features in common with tetrahedral molecules are pointed out, in particular the existence of a preferred chiral modality for genetic galaxies as in aminoacids ...
