The handedness of individual chiral nanoparticles made of metallic dumbbells can be determined by their optical properties alone. So say researchers in Texas in the US and Donostia-San Sebastian in Spain, whose new work could help in the development of highly efficient miniaturized nanoscale sensors for studying the structure of chiral molecules and biomolecules like proteins……..
