It is not a coincidence that both chirality and noncovalent interactions are ubiquitous in
nature and synthetic molecular systems. Noncovalent interactivity between chiral molecules …

Today we are witnessing the electric–dipole revolution in chiral measurements. Here we
reflect on its lessons and outcomes, such as the perspective on chiral measurements using …

Plasmonic chiral metamaterials have attracted broad research interest because of their
potential applications in optical communication, biomedical diagnosis, polarization imaging …

The reflection (or 'mirror') symmetry of space is among the fundamental symmetries of
physics. It is connected to the conservation law for the quantum number parity and a …

Ultrashort laser pulses are unique tools to trigger and probe the fastest charge dynamics in
matter, allowing the investigation of fundamental physical phenomena with unprecedented …

Understanding the chirality of molecular reaction pathways is essential for a broad range of
fundamental and applied sciences. However, the current ability to probe chirality on the time …

Switching of light polarization on the sub-picosecond timescale is a crucial functionality for
applications in a variety of contexts, including telecommunications, biology and chemistry …

A planar molecule may become chiral upon excitation of an out-of-plane vibration, changing
its handedness during half a vibrational period. When exciting such a vibration in an …

In this work, we decompose the high-harmonic generation (HHG) signal of aligned gas-
phase uracil into single molecular-orbital (MO) contributions. We compute HHG spectra for a …

The extreme nonlinear optical process of high-harmonic generation (HHG) makes it possible
to map the properties of a laser beam onto a radiating electron wave function and, in turn …
