Chemists have achieved a new feat in the realm of chemical design and synthesis: They've helped create the first example of a synthetic molecule, with an asymmetric oxygen atom as its centerpiece, ...

These are often made up of a central carbon atom, itself linked to four different groups or chains of atoms, usually carbon as well. The group led by Jérôme Lacour, Full Professor in the Department of ...

The field of nanomaterials is witnessing a transformative shift at the intersection of organic chemistry and molecular ...

(Nanowerk News) Chiral materials interact with light in very precise ways that are useful for building better displays, sensors and more powerful devices. However, engineering properties such as ...

What sets CNTs apart is the concept of chirality. The production of CNTs can follow either a chirality-controlled or a non-chirality-controlled process, such as armchair, zigzag, or chiral. For ...
