The Science behind Chiral

Electron Spin in Nature: Evolution's Energy Optimization

Electrons naturally possess spin, but in conventional conductors, their spins are not aligned. As electrons move through the material with random spin, scattering causes electrical resistance and energy loss.
Over billions of years, nature evolved a master key for efficiency: controlling and aligning electron spin through the CISS Effect. In living systems, this transition to spin-aligned transport minimizes energy waste in vital processes like photosynthesis and cellular respiration.

Emerging research suggests that CISS-driven spin alignment was even a critical catalyst in the origin of life on Earth, establishing spin selectivity as nature’s ultimate blueprint for efficient energy and charge transport.

One can think of an electron’s spin as being similar to a spinning top rotating around its own axis

What is Chirality?

Chirality refers to a property of objects, molecules, or structures that exist in two non-superimposable mirror-image forms, like left and right hands.
Biological systems widely utilize homochiral molecules: only left or only right structures. Natural sugars, proteins, amino acids, and DNA are all such examples.

Chiral mirror structures can never overlap

What is the CISS Effect?

Chiral's founders identified that the direction of electron spin is influenced by chiral molecules which act as spin filters.
Electrons with one spin direction pass through left-handed chiral molecules while electrons with the opposite spin pass through right-handed molecules.
This is known as the CISS Effect (Chiral Induced Spin Selectivity).

Electron spin direction is affected by the chirality of molecules

Chiral utilizes the CISS Effect to drive breakthrough device performance across semiconductors, AI infrastructure, and computing. Our spin aligning conductors achieve remarkable efficiency and capacity gains all while being drop-in ready for existing manufacturing lines.

The Benefits of Spin Alignment

Aligned electron spin facilitates smoother electron transfer, allowing more electrons to move with less energy.

Higher Efficiency: More electrons transferred with less energy leading to reduced energy loss.

Improved Capacity: Faster and greater outputs and performance.

Lower Costs: Both upfront and operational costs are reduced due to improved efficiency and capacity

Compact Design: Decreases footprint and weight, enabling more flexible setups.

Smooth application: Chiral's layers are just a few nanometers thick, allowing them to be applied to existing systems without the need for significant redesigns.
