Chiral nanophotonic materials are promising candidates for biosensing applications
because they focus light into nanometer dimensions, increasing their sensitivity to the …

We present a comprehensive overview of chirality and its optical manifestation in plasmonic
nanosystems and nanostructures. We discuss top-down fabricated structures that range from …

Understanding chirality, or handedness, in molecules is important because of the
enantioselectivity that is observed in many biochemical reactions 1, and because of the …

The field of chiral inorganic nanostructures is rapidly expanding. It started from the
observation of strong circular dichroism during the synthesis of individual nanoparticles …

Plasmon-coupled circular dichroism has emerged as a promising approach for ultrasensitive
detection of biomolecular conformations through coupling between molecular chirality and …

Throughout the 19th and 20th century, chirality has mostly been associated with chemistry.
However, while chirality can be very useful for understanding molecules, molecules are not …

Bionanotechnology has now become firmly established in its own right as one of the
principle and focused subdisciplines within nanotechnology.(1-10) Bionanotechnology can …

Chirality describes the geometric property of an object that is not superimposable on its
mirror image and has been a pivotal concept in chemistry and biology since the 19th …

Optical chiral metamaterials have recently attracted considerable attention because they
offer new and exciting opportunities for fundamental research and practical applications …

Chirality, a property of broken mirror symmetry, prevails in nature. Chiral molecules show
different biochemical behaviors to their mirror molecules. For left or right circularly polarized …
