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

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

Many naturally occurring biomolecules, such as amino acids, sugars and nucleotides, are
inherently chiral. Enantiomers, a pair of chiral isomers with opposite handedness, often …

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 …

One of the most intuitive ways to classically understand the generation of natural optical
activity in chiral media is provided by the coupled oscillator model of Born and Kuhn …

Circularly polarized light (CPL) exhibits an enantioselective interaction with chiral
molecules, providing a pathway toward all-optical chiral resolution. High index dielectric …

Conspectus Chirality in Nature can be found across all length scales, from the subatomic to
the galactic. At the molecular scale, the spatial dissymmetry in the atomic arrangements of …

Chirality describes mirror symmetry breaking in geometric structures or certain physical
quantities. The interaction between chiral structure and chiral light provides a rich collection …

Helical structures have attracted considerable attention due to their inherent optical chirality.
Here, we report a unique type of 3D Janus plasmonic helical nanoaperture with direction …

Building blocks of life show well-defined chiral symmetry which has a direct influence on
their properties and role in Nature. Chiral molecules are typically characterized by optical …
