<? pag\vskip-16pt?> Harnessing linear and angular momenta of light is one of the
cornerstones in modern optics and has found tremendous applications in optical circuits …

The discovery of the enhancement of Raman scattering by molecules adsorbed on
nanostructured metal surfaces is a landmark in the history of spectroscopic and analytical …

Throughout the 19th and 20th century, chirality has mostly been associated with chemistry.
However, while chirality can be very useful for understanding molecules, molecules are not …

Optical forces are involved in many physical processes and are used routinely in the
laboratory for manipulating and cooling matter, from the micro down to the quantum scales. It …

Chirality, a property of broken mirror symmetry, prevails in nature. Chiral molecules show
different biochemical behaviors to their mirror molecules. For left or right circularly polarized …

The transverse component of the spin angular momentum of evanescent waves gives rise to
lateral optical forces on chiral particles, which have the unusual property of acting in a …

The modern field of optical angular momentum began with the realisation by Allen et al in
1992 that, in addition to the spin associated with polarisation, light beams with helical phase …

Chirality arises universally across many different fields. Recent advancements in artificial
nanomaterials have demonstrated chiroptical responses that far exceed those found in …

Today we are witnessing the electric–dipole revolution in chiral measurements. Here we
reflect on its lessons and outcomes, such as the perspective on chiral measurements using …

The lack of mirror symmetry, chirality, plays a fundamental role in physics, chemistry and life
sciences. The passive separation of entities that only differ by their handedness without …
