Figure 1. Schematic diagram of the racemic metasurface. (a) Arbitrary polarization-wavefront conversion. (b) Racemic "super-units". Chirality is one of the fundamental phenomena widely present in ...

In the past, PCBs were utilized in a vast range of industrial and commercial products. These highly carcinogenic chemical compounds remain in our environment and accumulate inside organisms. Chiral ...

It may contain inaccuracies due to the limitations of machine translation. Professor Hyunwoo Kim's research team in the Department of Chemistry at KAIST announced on the 9th that it has developed a ...

A new type of OLED can generate left- or right-handed circularly polarized light from just one form of light-emitting ...

Optical isomers of single-walled carbon nanotubes (SWNTs) now can be sorted from one another for the first time, thanks to a pair of chiral diporphyrin "tweezers" developed by researchers in Japan ...

Modern chiral stationary phases allow rapid ER analysis and are applied to separate a wide range of chiral compounds. ER determination via chiral stationary phases allows facile assignment of absolute ...

Converting a mixture of mirror-image forms, or stereoisomers, of a molecule into a single isomer is a big deal in making pharmaceuticals, because usually only one isomer is useful as a drug. But ...

Researchers have developed a new reaction to produce chlorinated compounds with high isomeric purity. Such compounds are important building blocks for target molecules. However the molecules come in ...
