From small molecules to entire organisms, evolution has refined biological structures at the
nanoscale, microscale and macroscale to be chiral—that is, mirror dissymmetric. Chirality …

Artificial chiral nanostructures have been subjected to extensive research for their unique
chiroptical activities. Planarized chiral films of ultrathin thicknesses are in particular demand …

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 …

Biosensors have been designed and developed for detecting biomarkers, biomolecules,
proteins, enzymes, organisms, and various types of bacterial and viral diseases since the …

Optical chiral metamaterials have recently attracted considerable attention because they
