Chiral nanostars reveal how molecular twists shape complex materials
Aug 08, 2025 Chiral gold nanostars show how molecular asymmetry transfers to high-symmetry nanoparticles, producing structures with distinctive optical behavior and enhanced molecular detection. (Nanowerk Spotlight) Hold your left hand up to a mirror and you see its opposite, a right hand. This property, called chirality, appears everywhere in nature,...
Some young suns are aligned with their planet-forming disks, others are born tilted
Aug 07, 2025 Researchers have found that a fair number of sun-like stars emerge with their rotational axis tilted with respect to their protoplanetary disks, the clouds of gas and dust from which solar systems are born. (Nanowerk News) Researchers at UC Santa Barbara, The University of Texas at Austin,...
