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, ...

Unlocking the secrets of magnetic materials requires the right illumination. Magnetic x-ray circular dichroism makes it possible to decode magnetic order in nanostructures and to assign it to ...

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 ...

Magnetic nanostructures have long been part of our everyday life, e.g., in the form of fast and compact data storage devices or highly sensitive sensors. A major contribution to the understanding of ...

Generation of circularly polarized nonlinear signals from chiral metasurfaces with rotational symmetry under arbitrarily polarized excitation. Left and right circularly polarized light, where the ...
