Controlling quantum states with high precision—and entangling particles—has long been the goal of researchers pushing the ...

When such a chiral molecule in solution is exposed to the REF, its dipole moment will tend to reorient and align with the electric field direction, leading to rotation of the molecule. With the ...

Now, we study the dependence of this sensor mechanism on externally accessible parameters, such as temperature, substrate, molecular dipole moment and dipole density (molecular coverage).
