Chirality induces huge charge rectification of superconductors
Optical images of devices (#1) of thin film κ-NCS (a) before laser manufacturing and (b). Credit: Physics Review Study (2025). doi:10.1103/physrevresearch.7.023056 Recent studies have revealed that electrons passing through chiral molecules exhibit significant spin-polarized light, a phenomenon known as chirality-induced spin selectivity. This effect is attributed to the non-critical bond between electron motion and spins within chiral structures, but quantifies…

Terahertz pulsations induce chirality in non-chiral crystals
Terahertz Light has the ability to control solid matter at the atomic level, forming left-handed and right-handed chiral structures. Credit: Zhiyang Zeng (MPSD) Chirality refers to objects that cannot be superimposed into mirror images through any combination of rotation or translation, such as a person’s distinct left and right hands. In chiral crystals, the spatial arrangement of the atoms introduces…
