Differential absorption of circularly polarized light by a centrosymmetric crystal
Crystalline solids are governed by universal structure-property relationships derived from their crystal symmetry, leading to paradigmatic rules on what properties they can and cannot exhibit. A long-...

Transforming achiral semiconductors into chiral domains with exceptional circular dichroism
Highly concentrated solutions of asymmetric semiconductor magic-sized clusters (MSCs) of cadmium sulfide, cadmium selenide, and cadmium telluride were directed through a controlled drying meniscus fro...
