Chirality is a fundamental property of matter that determines many biological, chemical and physical phenomena. Chiral solids, for example, offer exciting opportunities for catalysis, sensing and ...

Chirality refers to objects that cannot be superimposed onto their mirror images through any combination of rotations or translations, much like the distinct left and right hands of a human.

Jan. 8, 2025 — A research team has achieved a groundbreaking quantum simulation of the non-Hermitian skin effect in two dimensions using ultracold fermions, marking a significant advance in ...

The answer to this conundrum requires understanding a bit of microbiology and a bit of mathematics. A disinfectant is a substance used to kill or inactivate bacteria, viruses and other microbes on ...

Ferroelectrics at the nanoscale exhibit a wealth of polar and sometimes swirling (chiral) electromagnetic textures that not only represent fascinating physics, but also promise applications in ...

A material with such a preferred internal direction is called “chiral,” but chirality has long been thought to preclude superconductivity, since it distinguishes leftward- and rightward-moving ...

Our main research areas are algebra and discrete mathematics, analysis, applied mathematics and mechanics, stochastics and statistics, and systems analysis and operations research. We offer major and ...

A chiral molecule is a molecule that cannot be superimposed on its mirror image. For a molecule to be chiral, it must contain at least one chiral carbon atom - a carbon atom bonded to four different ...

Chirality refers to objects that cannot be superimposed to their mirror images through any combination of rotations or translations, much like the distinct left and right hands of a human. In chiral ...

In the collaborative environment of the Penn State Institute for Computational and Data Sciences, John Harlim combines applied mathematics and data science to develop methods for more-accurate ...
