Vibrational circular dichroism (VCD) spectroscopy is an extension of circular dichroism spectroscopy into the infrared and near-infrared regions where vibrational transitions occur in the ground ...

The Nature Index 2025 Research Leaders — previously known as Annual Tables — reveal the leading institutions and countries/territories in the natural and health sciences, according to their output in ...

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, ...

The 3D conformation of a molecule or nanostructure determines its function. For instance, a left-handed amino acid can be beneficial to health, while its right-handed compartment can be toxic. With ...

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 ...
