Optical rotation is a fundamental phenomenon observed when plane-polarised light traverses chiral media. This intrinsic property of chiral molecules renders them capable of rotating the plane of ...

(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 ...

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 ...

Physicists have experimentally demonstrates a novel physical effect that was predicted 45 years ago. The effect will result in a new chemical analysis technique, to simultaneously identify molecular ...

Chirality is a fundamental property of asymmetry in nature, where an object or molecule cannot be superimposed onto its mirror image. In the context of nanotechnology, chirality refers to the ...

In a recent review article published in Photonics Research, researchers summarize advances in “twisted light” and “twisted matter,” and how structured light can probe, control, and help fabricate ...
