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

The scientific effort to control the interaction between light and matter has grown
exponentially in the last 2 decades. This growth has been aided by the development of …

Molecular plasmonics, the area which deals with the interactions between surface plasmons
and molecules, has received enormous interest in fundamental research and found …

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

Circular polarization-resolved Raman scattering methods include Raman optical activity
(ROA) and its derivative─ surface-enhanced Raman optical activity (SEROA). These …

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 …

Chiral sensing of single molecules is vital for the understanding of chirality and their
applications in biomedicine. However, current technologies face severe limitations in …

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 …

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 …

Chiro-sensitive molecular detection is highly relevant as many biochemical compounds, the
building blocks of life, are chiral. Optical chirality is conventionally detected through circular …
