Induced Chirality in Nano Letters
D&S researcher Dr Malcolm Kadodwala publishes paper on induced chirality in top journal Nano Letters
The Ultrafast Chemical Physics (UCP 2011) conference is reviewed in a News & Views article in the March 2012 issue of Nature Chemistry
Ultrafast chemical physics follows in the explosive wake of technological innovation, using light and radiation sources to study phenomena at timescales where the boundaries between physics and chemistry dissolve. UCP 2011 explored the current state of the art in ultrafast time-resolved spectroscopy.
Emeritus Professor Laurence Barron FRS describes chirality in March 2012 issue of Nature Chemistry News & Views article
The handedness of supramolecular helices formed from achiral monomers has been controlled by applying rotational and gravitational forces, but at the start of the assembly process only. This demonstrates that a falsely chiral influence is able to induce absolute enantioselection.
