New Science Article from the Kotov Lab


The Kotov group reports their findings on a new class of nanoparticles with chiroptical and magnetic properties.   Dispersions and gels of these nanoparticles also exhibit strong circular dichroism – this optical activity can be controlled reversibly by magnetic fields.  These nanoparticles and gels can find wide-ranging applications as magneto-optical materials.  Find more information about the research and article.
