 Who are we and what are nanohelicoid metamaterials? 

 CELICOIDS is a European Research Council funded project, led by Professor Justin Zoppe of the INTERCOLL Research Group in the Department of Materials Science & Engineering, that aims to develop new metamaterials—materials engineered to have properties that are not found in nature—with the potential to enhance the detection of molecular chirality. These new chiral metamaterials have applications in a wide range of fields, such as chiral optics, nanodevices, machines, chiral sensors, biology and the pharmaceutical industry.
