chiral materials
Chiral materials are substances that possess a property called chirality, which means they have a non-superimposable mirror image. In other words, they have a distinct "left-handed" or "right-handed" structure. This property has significant implications in various fields, such as chemistry, biology, and optics, where chirality plays a critical role in the interactions, reactions, and properties of these materials.
