Janus MoSSe has emerged as a promising 2D platform for photocatalytic water splitting owing to its intrinsic out-of-plane dipole, selective surface reactivity, and efficient charge separation.

Chirality-induced spin selectivity (CISS) bridges multiple scientific domains, linking chemical physics, materials science, and biology by revealing how molecular handedness can control electron spin across physical and living systems.

This Perspective highlights advances and challenges in Cd/Pb-free ZnSeTe quantum dots for high-performance, environmentally sustainable QLEDs across the full visible spectrum.

Density functional theory (DFT) is the most widely and accepted model for calculating the electronic structure of physical systems, but practical applications rely on approximations to the (still) unknown exact exchange–correlation functional.

Uniting computational and experimental approaches for precise, targeted, light-driven ion channel therapeutic innovation.

Recent research raises a question: is nuclear spin selectivity a consequence of spin selectivity of electron spin?

Halide perovskites (HPs) and their derivatives are emerging as a prominent class of materials for ionizing radiation detection.

High-performance ferroelectric materials are pivotal to the operation of advanced technologies in sensing, data storage, and beyond.

Playing with Marked Cards: ELF and NCI Analyses Unveil Where, When, and How Chemical Bonds Break and Form.

4-fold Dirac points. Weyl SM: 2-fold Weyl nodes with chirality & surface Fermi arcs. Nodal-line SM: band crossings form loops/lines, often with drumhead surface states; SOC may gap them.
