Topological aspects of the geometry of DNA and similar chiral molecules have received a lot of attention, while the topology of their electronic structure is less explored. Previous experiments have revealed that DNA can efficiently filter…

Recently, moir\'e engineering has been extensively employed for creating and studying novel electronic materials in two dimensions. However, its application in nanophotonic systems has not been widely explored so far. Here, we demonstrate…

Photons with spin angular momentum possess intrinsic chirality which underpins many phenomena including nonlinear optics1, quantum optics2, topological photonics3 and chiroptics4. Intrinsic chirality is weak in natural materials, and recent…

Molecular chirality plays an important role in chemistry and biology, allows control of biological interactions, affects drugs efficacy and safety, and promotes synthesis of new materials. In general, chirality manifests itself in optical…

Chirality arises from the asymmetry of matters, where two counterparts are the mirror image of each other. The interaction between circular-polarization light and quantum materials is enhanced in chiral space groups due to the structural…

Achieving intrinsic optical chirality requires breaking all mirror symmetries of an object, and maximum chirality, which allows interaction with only one helicity of light, is particularly promising for applications such as chiral sensing,…

Chirality or handedness in condensed matter induces anomalous optical responses such as natural optical activity, rotation of the plane of light polarization, as a result of breaking of spatial-inversion symmetry. In this study, optical…

The phenomenon of molecular optical activity manifests itself as the rotation of the plane of linear polarization when light passes through chiral media. Measurements of optical activity and its wavelength dependence, optical rotatory…

Chiral objects rotate when placed in a collimated flow or wind. We exploit this hydrodynamic intuition to construct a tensorial chirality measure for rigid filaments and curves. This tensor is trace-free, so if a curve has a right-handed…

Chiral excited electronic states of molecules have an intrinsic sense of handedness, or twist, and are the active component in energy efficient display technologies and in new photosynthetic routes to produce pharmaceuticals. Creating…

Chirality, a fundamental concept describing an object cannot superpose with its mirror image, is crucial in optics and photonics and leads to various exotic phenomena, such as circular dichroism, and optical activity. Recent findings reveal…

Chiral molecules form a number of non-chiral structures, the simplest being an isotropic fluid phase. In a mesophase of achiral molecules the fluctuations will on average be achiral as well: left-handed twists and right-handed twists will…

This paper presents a first-principle and global perspective of electromagnetic chirality. It follows for this purpose a bottom-up construction, from the description of chiral particles or metaparticles (microscopic scale), through the…

Recently, Tang and Cohen (Science 332, 333, 2011) have demonstrated a scheme to enhance the chiral response of molecules, which relies on the use of circularly polarized light in a standing wave configuration. Here we show a new type of…

Moir\'e superstructures arising at twisted 2D interfaces have recently attracted the attention of the scientific community due to exotic quantum states and unique mechanical and tribological behaviors that they exhibit. Here, we predict the…

Chirality, handedness, is one of the most fundamental intriguing asymmetries in nature. By definition, chiral objects cannot be superimposed onto each other after mirror reflection operation. Numerous examples of chiral structures can be…

In photonics, twisted bi-layer systems have demonstrated unprecedented control over light-matter interactions, primarily through the modulation of photonic band structures and the formation of Moir\'e patterns. Meanwhile, magnetic photonic…

We demonstrate that twisting one part of a chiral photonic structure about its helical axis produces a single circularly polarized localized mode that gives rise to an anomalous crossover in propagation. Up to a crossover thickness, this…

Chirality is breaking of mirror symmetry in matter. In the fields of biology and chemistry, this is particularly important because some of the essential molecules in life such as amino acids and DNA have chirality. It is a long-standing…

Optical nanofibers are waveguides known for their unique property to produce intense evanescent fields which have subwavelength transverse confinement easily extendable over thousands of wavelengths along the fiber axis. Moreover,…
