Recent progress in the fields of magnetic circular dichroism (MCD) and magneto-optical rotatory dispersion (MORD) is reviewed and these techniques are contrasted with those of natural circular ...

Vibrational circular dichroism spectroscopy (VCD) is a powerful analytical technique that probes the chiroptical properties of molecules by measuring the differential absorption of left and right ...

The 3D conformation of a molecule or nanostructure determines its function. For instance, a left-handed amino acid can be beneficial to health, while its right-handed compartment can be toxic. With ...

Metamaterials are a novel class of man-made materials with engineered qualities that surpass those found in nature. Unlike most substances, whose behavior is determined by chemical makeup, ...

Chiral molecules can present different chemical properties. For applications like drug delivery and diagnosis, it is important to detect the chiral signal in mixtures. Although electronic circular ...
