Mirror Image Research Articles

Джон Милбанк и «дело Суареса»

The article focuses on the key concepts of the philosophical theology of Francisco Suárez and the post-Suárezian scholastics. These concepts were used by John Milbank, contemporary English theologian and initiator of the «radical orthodoxy» movement, to historically justify his own views. In Milbank's interpretation, four points define the transition of medieval scholasticism from the “correct” Thomistic understanding to the pernicious innovations of Duns Scotus; through Suarez and his younger contemporaries, according to Milbank, they have been adopted by theologians and philosophers of modernity. The concepts in question are: univocation of being, cognition as a mirror image, potentiality, and “coincidence” (concurrentia). Milbank believes that these concepts have replaced the original ones – analogy, cognition as a formal identity, the primacy of actuality and “influxus”. Milbank's specific work with these notions often looks like a forced subsumption of a range of complex and heterogeneous problems that receive one-sided and even historically incorrect coverage. Such is the subject of this article. Its purpose is to analyze, on the basis of Milbank's views, the textual evidence of the meaning of these concepts and to draw certain conclusions concerning the adequate methodology of modern thinkers' engagement with the scholastic tradition.

Evolution of the Hofstede Model of Cultural Dimensions: Parallels Between Objective and Subjective Culture

Some 40 years ago, the Dutch social scientist Geert Hofstede laid the foundations of the science of modern cultural comparisons and created the most popular model of national culture that is still in use today across the world. Meanwhile, numerous issues with that model have been identified and the need for a thorough revision has become obvious. This article briefly explains Hofstede’s model and its issues and summarizes the existing revisions of it, resulting in a new, simpler, and more robust Minkov-Hofstede model. This new version explains a wide range of differences in national indicators, such as transparency-corruption, gender equality, road death tolls and industrial fatalities, educational achievement, violent crime, adolescent fertility, family structure, and innovation rates, to name just a few. These indicators form a pattern that is similar to the new Minkov-Hofstede model and can be explained through similar theories. This is evidence that subjective culture (what people think and feel) has a mirror image in objective culture (what people do). The new Minkov-Hofstede model can be applied to countries, as well as to some sub-national units such as US states.

ОБ ИНДИЙСКОМ ЗЕРКАЛЕ ИЗ РОГОЗИХИ-1 И ПРЕДВИДЕНИИ А. П. УМАНСКОГО

The «elephant scene» complex on the discovered by A. P. Umansky in 1985 rattle-mirror has been considered by many researchers. Alexey Pavlovich was particularly interested in it as well. In his opinion, the mirror shape and image semantics are connected with Hinduism religious mythology, and the scene is a solemn festive procession. Materials from Pakistan, India and Thailand support both of these provisions of A. P. Umansky. According to the summarised data, the back side of the rattle-mirrors with the cone and platens was a kind of Buddhist mandala variant with a conical projection in the center and concentric circles. The comparative analysis of the scenes on the mirror and a jar from Himachal Pradesh leaves no doubt about marches with musicians, dancers and elephants depiction. Such real or virtual processions content in North India in the second half of the I thousand BC may have varied considerably, but it was usually based on religious beliefs. It is possible that they were connected with the afterlife as A. P. Umansky envisaged.

Comparative evaluation of clinical efficiency of application of pit and fissures sealant performed under microscope and loupes

Aim: To compare the clinical effectiveness of pit and fissure sealants applied under naked eye, magnifying loupes, and microscope. Materials and Method: This study was carried out on 30 permanent molar teeth of patients aged between 6-9 years. The clinical examination of all patients included visual inspection with the aid of a dental mirror, probe, explorer, cotton rolls, and radiographic imaging. Sufficient lighting was also utilized during the examination. The study was divided into three groups. The procedure for the application of pit and fissure remains the same. However, group A was performed under naked eyes, group B under magnified loupes, and group C under a microscope. After the procedure teeth were analyzed for retention. Statistical Analysis Uses: Statistical analysis used was Rydges Criteria with a comparison of results from the same. Results: Observations vary greatly when the sealant is applied clinically vs. with loupes and microscopes. Furthermore, the results demonstrate that bubble formation was among the highly significant criteria on application with naked eyes compared to the microscope and magnifying loupes, which didn’t illustrate the same. Conclusion: The result of this research illustrates that bubble formation on applying pit and fissure sealant suggests that microorganisms could still penetrate the area of the pit and fissure, which might cause dental decay later in life. Teeth with partially retained sealants are more susceptible to developing caries lesions than those with fully covered pits and fissures because particles and food can accumulate in the uncovered areas.

ВОСПРИЯТИЕ СИММЕТРИЧНОСТИ ПРАВИЛЬНО ОРИЕНТИРОВАННОГО И ИНВЕРТИРОВАННОГО ЛИЦА

Background. X e uniqueness of human face perception mechanisms and their variability has become a subject for extensive investigation and wide discussion in the recent decades. While now the concept that human face is perceived as a whole is taken as a fact, the same cannot be said about the structure and methods to measure holistic processing. In the present study the factor of symmetry is investigated as one of the possible aspects of conW gural processing of facial perception. Objective. X e aim of the study was to apply the inversion method to the investigation of how distortion of facial conW guration perception impacts the rating of its symmetry/asymmetry Sample. 54 participants (24 female and 30 male) aged 18 to 68 (mean age 26) took part in the study. Method. An intra-individual experimental design was used. Participants rated asymmetry of normally oriented and inverted face-stimuli on a W ve-point scale. To set the symmetry level, leY eye and/or mouth regions were rotated around their W ducial points, there were three rotation angles for each feature region. Zero asymmetry faces were created by blending halves of normal and mirror images of the sample face-stimulus. X e mean asymmetry subjective ratings were submitted to repeated measures analysis of variance and paired samples t-test. Results. X e study revealed signiW cant diZ erences in the asymmetry ratings of upright and inverted faces: normal upright faces with rotated features were rated as more asymmetric compared to inverted. X us, we may conclude that symmetry perception is aZ ected by inversion. It was also revealed, that the eZ ect of the eye region and the lips region rotation were not equivalent: the higher the level rotation of the eye area was the more signiW cant the diZ erence between the rates of upright and inverted faces was, while rotation of the lips area did not result in higher diZ erence between the rates. Conclusion.X e observed face-inversion eZ ect in the perception of symmetry in facial stimuli suggests that (a)symmetry is a component of holistic (conW gurative) processing of human face perception. At the same time, the contributions of individual features to the overall facial conW guration may diZ er.

Загадочные тонкие полотна: Эмпедокл о зрении

It is quite fair to consider Empedocles as one of the first naturalists. Many of his fragments describe the parts of animals, their composition, functions and origin. Nature as a whole appears to us as a well-oiled mechanism in which different forces operate. As an illustration of this thought, the article considers the fragment B 84 DK. In it Empedocles, according to Aristotle, describes vision. In his characteristic style Empedocles does so by means of metaphor. In the first part of the fragment, he talks about the need to carry a lamp if one is travelling in the dark. But the lamp also needs to be protected from the wind, for which purpose some kind of lantern is attached to it, which prevents the wind from blowing. What this device is remains a mystery. Based on philological analysis, the article tries to imagine how this device might have looked like. The second part of the fragment is a mirror image of the first, it echoes it, but in different words. Here the metaphors of primordial fire, round-eyed Kora, and miraculous funnels attract special attention. Analysis of the fragment shows that the rich religious life of the time could have had a great influence on the formation of these metaphors. The fragment is given in Marwan Rashed's reconstruction.

Genome coding and noncoding structure function and evolution in Spalax ehrenbergi superspecies and Hordeum spontaneum in Israel: a review (Rodentia: Spalacidae)

The structure and function of the intergenic noncoding genome (repeatome) whether “selfish” and “junk” or “biochemically functional and regulatory” is still hotly debated, despite the mounting empirical and theoretical evidence supporting the regulatory role, provided by transposable elements, and the ENCODE results. In our studies in Israel on sympatric speciation (SS) in two evolutionary speciation models of abutting divergent ecologies, microclimatic at “Evolution Canyon” and geologic-edaphic at “Evolution Plateau”, we showed genomically that SS is a common speciation model across life from bacteria to mammals. Since such contrasting and abutting ecologies, climatic, geologic, edaphic, abiotic and biotic abound globally, SS might be a common speciation model across the planet. During our SS studies we discovered an additional remarkable result supporting the regulatory role of the repeatome. We found that the noncoding genome, in both subterranean mammals and wild barley at “Evolution Plateau” present a genomic mirror image of the coding genome supporting the regulatory hypothesis of the repeatome. Moreover, the repeatome also succeeded to identify the four subterranean chromosomal climatically adaptive mole rat species in Israel. This genomic mirror imaging and repeatome function is now open to genomic exploration across life.

The Whole Theory of This Universe—A Step Forward to Einstein, Part-3<sup>rd</sup>: “The Universal Theory of Visible and Invisible Universe”

We believe that the universe is of two types: visible and invisible. Nothing is at rest between the invisible and visible universes. All microscopic bodies as well as all macroscopic bodies are in motion along curved paths (i.e. in circles). The universe inside an atom is as vast as the visible universe. An atom consists of millions of particles or particle galaxies which contain central energy pools or central energy cores. Energy pools present in the centre of the invisible universe inside atomic or subatomic particles from which particles and energy are continuously interconverting. In a dense central energy pool, two opposite charges are created due to the swirling motion of microscopic energy droplets. Small microscopic energy droplets may swirl either clockwise or anti-clockwise to produce microscopic tornadoes which are non-superimposable mirror images of each other and gain the property of positive and negative charges. Hence, the electrostatic force is originated between these two opposite charges, which are then changed into a pair of particles, i.e. catitron, which carries a positive charge, and anitron which carries a negative charge. All the other millions of subatomic particles or particle galaxies are produced in the same way. So, the electrostatic force is the basic force, and all other forces originate from this basic electrostatic force of attraction. When charged particles move, they produce an oscillating electric field, and the spinning of these particles produces oscillating magnetic fields. These oscillating electric and magnetic fields are perpendicular to each other and, by their interaction, an oscillating gravitational field is produced which is also perpendicular to both the oscillating electric field and the oscillating magnetic field. The Earth’s axial tilt, which causes the Earth’s precessional motion, is caused by the parallel alignment of the Earth’s magnetic field with the magnetic field of the Sun. Gravity is not a cause of space-time curvature, but gravity causes space-time curvature. Space-time curvature is nothing but a curved path around a heavy object. The Universal Theory of Visible and Invisible Universe—The Whole Theory of This Universe—A Step Forward to Einstein, opens new windows in the challenging fields of science and research, i.e. visible and invisible universe, universe inside an atom, what is the stuff of the entire universe? What will happen at the end of this whole universe?

Research on a New Rehabilitation Robot for Balance Disorders.

The treatment of patients with balance disorders is an urgent problem to be solved by the medical community. The causes of balance disorders are diverse. An aging population, traffic accidents, stroke, genetic diseases and so on are all possible factors. It has brought great pain and inconvenience to patients and their families. At present, there are two main types of assisted rehabilitation training robots for patients with balance disorders: exoskeleton robots and end robots. The exoskeleton robot is generally installed on the outside of the patient's body to follow their movement, which can support the weight of the body and provide power support to help the patient train and recover lower limb ability. The use of end robots is usually to secure the patient's foot to the motion platform and control the pedal to drive the lower limbs to conduct gait training. Such passive training is more suitable for patients with severe disorders. The patient has low awareness of active participation. This paper focuses on research on end rehabilitation training robots for balance disorders. In this paper, a robotic system for rehabilitation training of patients with balance disorders is invented. The robot body is a 9 degree of freedom (DOF) redundant series-parallel hybrid motion platform. Two sets of motion platforms with symmetrical mirror images are used together to simulate different motion modes of the human body and drive the human body to move. Each set of motion platforms is composed of a 6-DOF vestibular parallel device and a 3-DOF proprioception parallel device. It has the advantages of DOF decoupling and fast response, proposing a new structural form for the design of proprioceptive and vestibular simulation platforms. The robot's functional level can be divided into a vestibular sense module and a proprioception module according to the structure. The two modules can work independently to achieve different functions or work together to achieve complex motion and multisensory fusion. This robot is a redundant mechanism device with 9 DOFs. Through a reasonable distribution of DOF and motion, the robot's working space can be increased, and the robot's flexibility and motion performance can be improved. In this paper, a trajectory tracking control algorithm for vestibular and proprioceptive simulation is proposed, which can provide unlimited body sense training for patients within the robot's limited motion range.

Situs inversus totalis - pogled na sliku u ogledalu

Introduction: Situs inversus totalis (SIT) is a rare phenomenon and the incidence of this condition ranges from 1:10.000 to 1:20.000 people. It is a condition in which the arrangement of internal organs is a mirror image of normal anatomy. It can occur independently or as part of a syndrome with other abnormalities. Congenital heart defects are present in about 5-10% of such individuals. The underlying cause and genetics of situs inversus are complex. Case report: A 69-year-old female patient was referred to the Department of General Surgery in May 2023 for ventral hernia surgery. This was her third admission to the same department; in 1998, she had appendectomy, and in 2018, the patient underwent a cholecystectomy due to gallbladder calculus. Upon admission, the patient was referred for a CT scan of the thorax and the abdomen, in order to confirm the correct anatomy, given that she was already familiar with her condition and the existence of situs inversus. During the CT examination, the arrangement of the abdominal organs was confirmed as a mirror image of normal anatomy with the heart on the right side of the chest. Conclusion: Most people with SIT live completely normal lives. Life expectancy and risk of acquired diseases are similar to those of the general population. In a certain number of cases, there is a connection with certain pathological entities. In patients with SIT, common causes of acute abdominal pain often lead to wrong conclusions, and the localization of the cause of abdominal pain is extremely complicated and difficult. Identifying people with SIT makes it possible to reduce risks during surgical procedures and interventional procedures.

Delayed luminescence guided enhanced circularly polarized emission in atomically precise copper nanoclusters.

Metal nanoclusters, owing to their intriguing optical properties, have captivated research interest over the years. Of special interest have been chiral nanoclusters that display optical activity in the visible region of the electromagnetic spectrum. While the ground state chiral properties of metal nanoclusters have been reasonably well studied, of late research focus has shifted attention to their excited state chiral investigations. Herein, we report the synthesis and chiral investigations of a pair of enantiomerically pure copper nanoclusters that exhibit intense optical activity, both in their ground and excited states. The synthesis of nanoclusters using l- and d-isomers of the chiral ligand led to the formation of metal clusters that displayed mirror image circular dichroism and circularly polarized luminescence signals. Structural validation using single crystal XRD, powder XRD and XPS in conjunction with chiroptical and computational analysis helped to develop a structure-property correlation that is unique to such clusters. Investigations on the mechanism of photoluminescence revealed that the system exhibits long excited state lifetimes. A combination of delayed luminescence and chirality resulted in circularly polarized delayed luminescence, a phenomenon that is rather uncommon to the field of metal clusters. The chiral emissive properties could be successfully demonstrated in free-standing polymeric films highlighting their potential for use in the field of data encryption, security tags and polarized light emitting devices. Moreover, the fundamental understanding of the mechanism of excited state chirality in copper clusters opens avenues for the exploration of similar effects in a variety of other clusters.

A Coaxial Wrist-Worn Energy Harvester for Self-Powered Internet of Things Sensors

Energy harvesting from human motion has great potential of sustainably powering Internet of Things (IoT) sensors and satisfying their continuous sensing requirement. In this article, we propose a high-performance wrist-worn energy harvester to efficiently capture the biomechanical energy of arm swinging to self-power wearable sensors. Based on coaxial topology, a planetary gear system serves as frequency-up converter to increase energy conversion capacity, and all the functional units are coaxially installed to achieve a highly compact structure. Thanks to improved energy conversion capacity and structure compactness, the energy harvester can efficiently capture the kinetic energy of arm swinging and achieve high average power. We derive an analytical model to predict the system dynamics and power generation performance using the Lagrangian approach and mirror image method. We fabricate a miniature prototype with different proof mass configurations, which is characterized under bench-top excitations and tested under real walking excitations. The results show that in bench-top testing, the prototype generates maximum average power of 2.73 mW and maximum power density of 535.29 <inline-formula xmlns:mml="http://www.w3.org/1998/Math/MathML" xmlns:xlink="http://www.w3.org/1999/xlink"> <tex-math notation="LaTeX">$\mathbf {\mathrm {\mu }}\text{W}$ </tex-math></inline-formula> /cm3 at the excitation frequency of 1.2 Hz among different configurations. In terms of average power and power density, this energy harvester significantly overperforms its counterparts. In real walking testing, the prototype generates maximum average power of 3.13 mW at a walking frequency of 1.2 Hz among different configurations and achieves higher power output than bench-top testing. Finally, the prototype is used to simultaneously power four sensors and demonstrates great potential in self-powered IoT applications.

Hybrid multi-strategy chaos somersault foraging chimp optimization algorithm research.

To address the problems of slow convergence speed and low accuracy of the chimp optimization algorithm (ChOA), and to prevent falling into the local optimum, a chaos somersault foraging ChOA (CSFChOA) is proposed. First, the cat chaotic sequence is introduced to generate the initial solutions, and then opposition-based learning is used to select better solutions to form the initial population, which can ensure the diversity of the algorithm at the beginning and improve the convergence speed and optimum searching accuracy. Considering that the algorithm is likely to fall into local optimum in the final stage, by taking the optimal solution as the pivot, chimps with better adaptation at the mirror image position replace chimps from the original population using the somersault foraging strategy, which can increase the population diversity and expand the search scope. The optimization search tests were performed on 23 standard test functions and CEC2019 test functions, and the Wilcoxon rank sum test was used for statistical analysis. The CSFChOA was compared with the ChOA and other improved intelligent optimization algorithms. The experimental results show that the CSFChOA outperforms most of the other algorithms in terms of mean and standard deviation, which indicates that the CSFChOA performs well in terms of the convergence accuracy, convergence speed and robustness of global optimization in both low-dimensional and high-dimensional experiments. Finally, through the test and analysis comparison of two complex engineering design problems, the CSFChOA was shown to outperform other algorithms in terms of optimal cost. For the design of the speed reducer, the performance of the CSFChOA is 100% better than other algorithms in terms of optimal cost; and, for the design of a three-bar truss, the performance of the CSFChOA is 6.77% better than other algorithms in terms of optimal cost, which verifies the feasibility, applicability and superiority of the CSFChOA in practical engineering problems.

On the realistic expression of domestic anti-corruption dramas

Anti-corruption drama is the product of collusion of reality, traditional culture and popular imagination. It completes the artistic expression through the typified narrative mode and the typified characterization of "political tough man" and "snake and scorpion beauty". It is a contemporary mirror image of Chinese traditional culture and national psychology, reflecting the complex tangles in the process of modernization. Anti-corruption dramas have distinctive characteristics of the times, reflecting the multiple orientations and conspiracies of popular culture, mainstream culture and traditional culture in various periods. Anti-corruption dramas in the new era have undergone major changes in the direction of social problem dramas, focusing on the lofty human nature of the narrative subject. The expression of the mainstream values in the anti-corruption drama has spread more positive energy for the construction of the political ecology of the Qingming Dynasty and won the audience's welcome.

Analytical review of design aspects of helical spring

The curvature correction factor is an important parameter for evaluating the stress of helical springs. A novel modelled curvature correction factor (KG) was proposed in terms of the shear correction factor (KS) and spring index (C). This factor (KC) falls between the Wahl and Bergstrasser correction factors, considering the stresses due to shear, torsional, and curvature effects. The ratio of the actual deflection to estimated deflection and the ratio of the actual stiffness to estimated stiffness are mirror images of each other. In addition, when C continued to decrease, the curvature correction factor increased sharply. In practical design, the actual deviation is greater than the evaluated deflection, and the evaluated deflection may need to be increased by a certain percentage to obtain the actual deflection. Therefore, a general equation was developed for this purpose. The ratios of the actual and evaluated deflections and the actual and evaluated stiffnesses were mirror images of each other. For suitable assumed data, the torsional shear stress, maximum shear stress, and modelled curvature stress were almost straight and parallel to each other.

The influence of chirality on the behavior of oligonucleotides inside cells: revealing the potent cytotoxicity of G-rich l-RNA.

Due to their intrinsic nuclease resistance, mirror image l-oligonucleotides are being increasingly employed in the development of biomedical research tools and therapeutics. Yet, the influence of chirality on the behavior of oligonucleotides in living systems, and specifically, the extent to which l-oligonucleotides interact with endogenous biomacromolecules and the resulting consequences remain unknown. In this study, we characterized the intracellular behavior of l-oligonucleotides for the first time, revealing important chirality-dependent effects on oligonucleotide cytotoxicity. We show that exogenously delivered l-oligonucleotides have the potential to be highly cytotoxic, which is dependent on backbone chemistry, sequence, and structure. Notably, for the sequences tested, we found that single-stranded G-rich l-RNAs are more cytotoxic than their d-DNA/RNA counterparts, exhibiting low nanomolar EC50 values. Importantly, RNA-seq analysis of differentially expressed genes suggests that G-rich l-RNAs stimulate an innate immune response and pro-inflammatory cytokine production. These data not only challenge the general perception that mirror image l-oligonucleotides are nontoxic and nonimmunogenic, but also reveal previously unrecognized therapeutic opportunities. Moreover, by establishing sequence/structure toxicity relationships, this work will guide how future l-oligonucleotide-based biotechnologies are designed and applied.

Conceptual Analysis of Vicharchika W.S.R to Eczema: An Overview

Skin is the mirror image of body and mind, which is also the largest organ of body; it reflects physical, mental and physcho-logical state of an individual. Skin not only covers and protects the body but also performs some functions of excretion and metabolism. In the Ayurvedic texts all skin disorders are included under the Kushtaroga. Which is further classified in two divisions i.e. Mahakushta and Kshudrakushta, Vicharchika is one among them. Kushtha is one among Ashtamahagada al-so.Vicharchika is a type of kshudra kushta &amp; Sadhya Kushtha by all acharya, often encountered by Ayurvedic Dermatologists characterized with symptoms likes Kandu, Srava, Pidika and Shyavavarna. Vicharchika can be seen at any age but fre-quently at a young age due to exposure to occupational, environmental factors, and mental stress. Junk food, irregular eat-ing, repressing natural desires, using cosmetics and other chemicals, a polluted environment, a demanding existence, and emotional disorders all unquestionably play a significant role in the emergence of Vicharchika nowadays. The clinical presentation of Vicharchika is similar to Eczema in modern dermatology. Eczema (also called atopic dermatitis) is charac-terized by dry itchy skin with areas of poorly demarcated erythema and scale. Pruritus, erythema, oedema, papules, vesci-cles and oozing in the acute phase whereas itching, scaling, dryness, hyperpigmented and lichenified (thickened), and exco-riations (scratch marks) are frequently seen in the chronic phase. By purging vitiated dosha and balancing the Dosha and Dhatu, Ayurveda provides treatment for the root of Vicharchika. Shodhana, Shamana, and Rasayana therapy make up the mainstay of Ayurveda's treatment for this illness.

Anesthesia management in a patient with situs inversus totalis posted for kidney transplantation: A rare case report

In situs inversus totalis (SIT), the transposition of all organs lies in the thorax and abdominal part of the body, give a mirror image. It is a congenital anomaly with an incidence of 1 in 8000-10,000 among the general population. SIT in association with cardiac or spinal anomalies or with syndromes such as Kartagener or cystic fibrosis presents a complex and challenging clinical situation for the treating anesthesiologist. We report a case of a 41-years-old male diagnosed with end-stage kidney disease with SIT posted for kidney transplantation surgery. Kidney transplantation in these patients may be difficult due to the presence of vascular abnormalities in these patients. Relevant experience always remains limited.

Transmitting biomolecular chirality into carbon nanodots: a facile approach to acquire chiral light emission at the nanoscale.

Since the observation of chirality at the nanoscale, research focused towards the design and synthesis of optically active nanomaterials has been at a brisk pace. In this regard, carbon based zero dimensional nanomaterials have attracted vast attention due to their rich optical properties, abundance of raw materials, minimal environmental hazardousness, good solubility, and ease of surface modification. However, efforts focused towards the synthesis of chiral carbon nanodots exhibiting optical activity both in their ground and excited states are rather scarce. Herein, we report a facile synthetic approach for the preparation of three sets of intrinsically chiral carbon nanodots that exhibit intense circularly polarized luminescence. Synthesis under optimized conditions using l- and d-isomers of the chiral precursors led to the formation of carbon nanodots that displayed mirror image circular dichroism and circularly polarized luminescence signals revealing their ground and excited state chirality. The experimental results are supportive of the reported core-shell model comprising an achiral carbon core that is enclosed within an amorphous shell contributing to the chiral luminescence. The luminescence anisotropy and wavelength could be tuned by varying the experimental conditions such as temperature and pH. The chiral emissive properties of the nanoparticles could be demonstrated in free-standing polymeric films revealing their potential to be used as chiral light emitting agents in optical devices, data storage and security tags. Being the first observation of intrinsic circularly polarized luminescence from a range of carbon nanodots, both in the solution and solid state, we envisage that the work will open new avenues for the investigation of excited stated chirality at the nanoscale.
