Science article on exciton-coupled chirality from magic-sized clusters!
🚀 Breaking New Ground in Chiral Nanomaterials! 🚀
We’re excited to share our latest breakthrough—light-twisting materials made from semiconductor nanoclusters! 🌈✨ Using magic-sized CdS clusters, we engineered helical films with record-breaking light–matter interactions and extra-large homochiral domains.
While exciton-coupled chirality is well-established in organic supramolecular assemblies, our work demonstrates this effect in inorganic materials—a major leap forward in chiroptics and nanophotonics!
👏 Huge congratulations to Tom, River, Reilly, Haoyang, & Frank for their outstanding work!
