Linear, sp-hybridised, 1-dimensional (1D) all-carbon wires are conceptually the simplest π-
conjugated organic molecules. Their fundamental experimental and theoretical properties …

In chemistry and biochemistry, chirality represents the structural asymmetry characterized by
nonsuperimposable mirror images for a material such as DNA. In physics, however, chirality …

Stereochemistry has an essential role in organic synthesis, biological catalysis and physical
processes. In situ chirality identification and asymmetric synthesis are non-trivial tasks …

When electrons are injected through a chiral molecule, the resulting current may become
spin polarized. This effect, known as the chirality-induced spin-selectivity (CISS) effect, has …

Single-molecule topological insulators are promising candidates as conducting wires over
nanometre length scales. A key advantage is their ability to exhibit quasi-metallic transport …

Quantum phenomena are typically observable at length and time scales smaller than those
of our everyday experience, often involving individual particles or excitations. The past few …

Electron transport through noncovalent interaction is of fundamental and practical
importance in nanomaterials and nanodevices. Recent single-molecule studies employing …

To rival the performance of modern integrated circuits, single-molecule devices must be
designed to exhibit extremely nonlinear current–voltage (I–V) characteristics,,–. A common …

Ferrocenes are ubiquitous organometallic building blocks that comprise a Fe atom
sandwiched between two cyclopentadienyl (Cp) rings that rotate freely at room temperature …

Though the concept of Berry force was proposed thirty years ago, little is known about the
practical consequences of this force as far as chemical dynamics are concerned. Here, we …
