Abstract

Chirality of inorganic nanoparticles (NPs) is an emerging and hot topic in nanoresearch in the past several years. Many novel and interesting properties of chiral NPs have been explored and studied, which highlight their importance in both fundamental research and potential applications. This review summarizes recent progress in the study of origins, optical properties and bioapplications of chiral NPs, and future developments in this research area are also discussed.
