Chirality is a fundamental property of nature with relevance in biochemistry and physics,
particularly in the field of catalysis. Understanding the mechanisms underlying chirality …

The chiral anomaly-a hallmark of chiral spin-1/2 Weyl fermions-is an imbalance between left-
and right-moving particles that underpins phenomena such as particle decay and negative …

Internal interfaces in Weyl semimetals (WSMs) are predicted to host distinct topological
features that are different from the commonly studied external interfaces (crystal-to-vacuum …

In Weyl semimetals, charge density wave (CDW) order can spontaneously break the chiral
symmetry, gap out the Weyl nodes, and drive the material into the axion insulating phase …

The difficulties in designing high-performance hydrogen evolution reaction (HER) catalysts
lie in the manipulation of adsorption behaviors of transition metals (TMs). Topological chiral …

The study of heterogeneous reactions for enantiomeric processes based on inorganic
crystals has been resurgent in recent years. However, the question remains how …

The discovery of topological semimetals with multifold band crossings has opened up a new
and exciting frontier in the field of topological physics. These materials exhibit large Chern …

In Nature, α-quartz crystals frequently form contact twins, which are two adjacent crystals
with the same chemical structure but different crystallographic orientation, sharing a …
