Lead groups from London, the Netherlands and Israel, in collaboration with a large international network of scientists, have developed chiral organics for photon/electron spin control. A vast array of ...

it becomes ‘spin-polarised’, meaning that electrons with a particular spin accumulate at one end of the molecule. The direction in which polarisation occurs depends on the chirality of the molecule.
