A role of chirality in materials is discussed, being inspired by recent studies on chirality-induced selectivity and polarization of spin angular momenta and angular momenta with chiral materials. We demonstrate that chiral materials exhibit a spin-polarized state when the charge current is injected into them [1-6]. Importantly, a robust protection of the spin polarization enables a nonlocal...
