The findings are published in The Journal of Chemical Physics. Many materials can have several crystal structures, "phases," even in the same solid state. Determining the underlying crystal ...

Chirality is a fundamental property of matter that determines many biological, chemical and physical phenomena. Chiral solids, for example, offer exciting opportunities for catalysis, sensing and ...
