Nonchiral Clusters Self-Assemble into Chiral Films Researchers have demonstrated a method to create circular polarizing films from nonchiral nanoclusters that form spiral chains during drying.

Researchers have demonstrated a way to make large-scale chiral films from achiral semiconductors. The feat could pave the way for new antireflective coatings and noninvasive blood-sugar monitors.

This is outstanding! Watch it and share...

Well done! Congratulations!

Transforming achiral semiconductors into chiral domains with exceptional circular dichroism Highly concentrated solutions of asymmetric semiconductor magic-sized clusters (MSCs) of cadmium sulfide, cadmium selenide, and cadmium telluride were directed through a controlled drying meniscus fro...

🚀Thrilled to share our light-twisting materials from semiconductor nanoclusters! Films of CdS magic-sized clusters helically assembled with record g-factors and large homochiral domains. Congrats to Tom, River, Reilly, Haoyang & Frank!
