Chiral metasurfaces are ultrathin, two-dimensional assemblies of subwavelength resonators whose lack of mirror symmetry gives rise to strong differential responses to left- and right-handed circularly ...

Chiral metamaterials are artificially structured composites that lack mirror symmetry and thus interact differently with left- and right-handed circular polarisation of light, yielding optical ...

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 nature, there exist structures that are mirror images of each other but cannot be perfectly superimposed. These are known ...

(a) Electric field of LCP and superchiral light. (b) (Left) Schematic illustrating the generation of superchiral fields by focusing twisted RP beams. (Right) Theoretical model used to calculate the ...

A new method of distinguishing chiral molecules could eventually detect distortions inside quantum and soft materials, find ...

Simple encapsulation by terpene-based chiral capsules allows various non-chiral organic dyes to display chiroptical properties in water, without requiring elaborate chemical modifications, scientists ...

Engineers have developed a multifunctional, reconfigurable component for an optical computing system that could be a game changer in electronics. As fast as modern electronics have become, they could ...

Helical liquid crystals and chirality Helical liquid crystals naturally produce circularly polarized light, making them attractive for chirality control. The catch is that neighboring molecules grip ...
