Members of the CEST group published a recent paper introducing a novel method to calculate CD spectra in the open source GPAW code. The publication shows that the implemented approach is more ...

The smooth and tailorable spectral response of Bragg mirrors has driven their pervasive use in optical systems requiring customizable spectral control of beam propagation. However, the simple nature ...

Circular dichroism (CD) spectroscopy has long been regarded as a low-resolution technique used to obtain an estimate of the a-helix and b-sheet content of proteins. This view of CD, though widely held ...

In nature, there exist structures that are mirror images of each other but cannot be perfectly superimposed. These are known ...

A new method of distinguishing chiral molecules could eventually detect distortions inside quantum and soft materials, find ...

Porvair Sciences introduces new black Krystal UV Quartz bottomed microplates that offer excellent optical transmission in the wavelength range 185nm to 1100nm making them ideal for labs looking to ...

Metamaterials are a novel class of man-made materials with engineered qualities that surpass those found in nature. Unlike most substances, whose behavior is determined by chemical makeup, ...

image: a, Schematic of the proposed all-in-one polarizer that can function at an arbitrary position on the Poincaré sphere by design based on a dielectric metasurface composed of dimerized nanopillars ...

Most biomolecules are chiral. Circular dichroism (CD) spectroscopy is typically used to provide information about that chirality. But the data for mixtures of biomolecules can be difficult to ...

Chiral molecules can present different chemical properties. For applications like drug delivery and diagnosis, it is important to detect the chiral signal in mixtures. Although electronic circular ...
