Physicists at Martin Luther University Halle-Wittenberg (MLU) have now been able to show for the first time that there is a kind of precursor for electronically chiral materials.
"It is assumed that the resistivity in some chiral materials remains constant or even decreases as the chiral material becomes smaller.
However, they have the potential to be converted into electronically chiral materials with only a single handedness through targeted distortion.
Chiral materials are the central research focus of the EXC 3112 Centre of Excellence "Centre for Chiral Electronics", which began its work in early 2026.
