Circular dichroism (CD), induced by chirality, is an important tool for manipulating light or for characterizing morphology of molecules, proteins, crystals and nano-structures. CD is manifested over a wide size-range, from molecules to…
Circular dichroism (CD) is absorption difference of right-hand and left-hand circularly polarized light by components. CD spectroscopy technique is an important tool for detecting molecular chirality, but the molecular circular dichroism…
Strong enhancement of molecular circular dichroism has the potential to enable efficient asymmetric photolysis, a method of chiral separation that has conventionally been impeded by insufficient yield and low enantiomeric excess. Here, we…

The ability to differentiate chiral molecules of different handedness is of great importance for chemical and life sciences. Since most of the relevant chiral molecules have their chiral transitions in the UV region, detecting their…
The differential response of chiral molecules to incident left- and right- handed circularly polarized light is used for sensing the handedness of molecules. Currently, significant effort is directed towards enhancing weak differential…
We derive here a new highly selective photoelectron-based chirality-sensing technique that utilizes 'locally-chiral' laser pulses. We show that this approach results in strong chiral discrimination, where the standard forwards/backwards…
