Engineering chiral density waves and topological band structures by multiple-$Q$ superpositions of collinear up-up-down-down orders [PDF]
, 2016 Magnetic orders characterized by multiple ordering vectors harbor noncollinear and noncoplanar spin textures and can be a source of unusual electronic properties through the spin Berry phase mechanism.

Chirality detection of enantiomers using twisted optical metamaterials
Nature Communications, 2017 Many naturally occurring biomolecules, such as amino acids, sugars and nucleotides, are inherently chiral. Enantiomers, a pair of chiral isomers with opposite handedness, often exhibit similar physical and chemical properties due to their identical ...

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.

Nanomaterials, 2017 Organic nanotubes, as assembled nanospaces, in which to carry out host–guest chemistry, reversible binding of smaller species for transport, sensing, storage or chemical transformation purposes, are currently attracting substantial interest, both as biological ion channel mimics, or for addressing tailored material properties.

FEBS Open Bio, EarlyView.Enzymes of the 2‐hydroxyacyl‐CoA lyase group catalyze the condensation of formyl‐CoA with aldehydes or ketones. Thus, by structural adaptation of active sites, practically any pharmaceutically and industrially important 2‐hydroxyacid could be biotechnologically synthesized. Combining crystal structure analysis, active site mutations and kinetic assays,

Quantum mechanical considerations on algebraic structure of central molecular chirality [PDF]
, 2004 The chiral algebra of tetrahedral molecules, derived from Fischer projections, is discussed in the framework of quantum mechanics. A quantum chiral algebra is obtained whose operators, acting as rotations or inversions, commute with the Hamiltonian of ...
